Welcome to the most enjoyable - or at least the most aquatic - way to get from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap in Cambodia. The daily ferry ride is neither cheapest nor safest, but it is a ton of fun.
River Life is surprisingly similar the world over. Lots of locals out doing their thing, setting up fishing nets and taking in the daily haul. They were incredibly friendly, waving as we motored through, with the younger kids always more excited than the adults who were much more focused on the job at hand.
