Siem Reap To Phnom Penh

Kom Png Kdei bridge

The longest corbelled stone-arch bridge in the world and the oldest of all ancient bridges in Cambodia, 75 m long and 14 m high laterite bridge with 21 arches spanning the Chikreng River.  An Ancient Engineering.

The bridge is closed for cars & big vehicles, only motorbikes are allowed to use now to preserve the history of the bridge.


It's dry season, we can actually get to below the bridge to get some better views of the structure. :)







The driver's house
 The driver pass-by his house along the way to drop some food & toys for his family.  We requested if we could visit his house to have a little feel of kampong life.

This is a "pond" they use to catch cricket at night for food.

Like China that I went many many years ago, the people build their house bit by bit, it can take about 2-3 years to complete their house project.

The chickens & chicks are free to roam around
