CAMBODIA

REMEMBER THAT  BUSH CAMPING IN CAMBODIA CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF UNEXPLODED LANDMINES .

IF YOU MUST BUSH CAMP- MAKE SURE YOU DON’T LEAVE ESTABLISHED AND WELL USED TRACKS AND LEARN HOW TO ASK THE LOCALS IF THERE ARE ANY MINES IN THE AREA—Gon-laing neeh mee-un min dtay?
