Chong Koh village, Cambodia

http://www.rarolens.com - Chong Koh is a small village on the bank of the Mekong River in Cambodia. Its inhabitants are farmers, fishermen and silk-weavers and used to be considered remote but nowadays it is visited by a large number of river cruise boats. However, the people are still charming and friendly. The Bhuddist temple is ornate and well cared for. The primary school is run-down with not much in the way of resources but the children are delightful. The ones in the video are about 9-years-old. There are two school sessions each day so many of the kids who sell silk souvenirs in the morning will be going to school in the afternoon.
