Additional information

| My wife and I have just abandoned the mayhem of Phnom Penh and relocated 120 miles south to the old French colonial town of Kampot. We have taken up residence in a wooden, Khmer style bungalow in a garden setting along the banks of the Kampot River (estuary). It's quiet (no barking dogs) and very charming.
