I tuk-tucked to Phluk from Siem Reap in an erroneous, one and half hour hither and thither movement. A sedan would have got me there in 40 minutes. But Vanna was on standby 24/7 in front of My Home Cambodia. Short, dusky and wearing dishevelled tees and trousers, the curly-haired Vanna always propelled his two front teeth whether or not he was smiling. His thin and long face is disproportionate to his height. His tuk-tuk slightly swerved left and right while moving fast. It jerked and bumped. However, the velvet-brown cushioned seat with embroidered frills gave me a royal feel. We were cruising along until deviating to the right to roll on a dusty road. Vanna kept accelerating and at each spotting of pond-like patches, I persisted, “Vanna, are we there?” “More, more go.” Vanna uttered his elementary repertoire of English words.” Are we still in Siem Reap?” “Yes, Siem Reap. Kampung Phluk, Siem Reap”. No sunglasses. Full Story: https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1106456-cambodia’s-other-empire/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
