| There
is a 6-lane highway being constructed to connect Kampot (possibly
Sihanoukville) to Ha Tien (in Vietnam) through the cape resort of Kep.
An attempt to repeat history when Vietnam once control this part of
Cambodia, another puppet with a new name. In Kep, the 6-lane highway
runs alongside the sea, over miles of once protected mangrove swamps,
destroying the ecology of this once pristine, charming resort oasis,
will destroy at least one of the 11 villages my NGO Center for Social
Development used to work in for 3 years, the fishing village of Ang
Kaol. |
 |
| Village in Kep most likely will be destroyed for new 6-lane highway to Ha Tien (Vietnam) |
 |
| Multi-lane highway under construction over once protected mangrove forest, a needed ecological system, to Ha Tien |
Facing east in the direction of Ang Kaol, and Ha Tien beyond
 |
| A docking station for sampans, between Kep city and fishing village of Ang Kaol |
Where construction is a week ago when we visited this multi-lane highway to Ha Tien... Not yet to fishing village of Ang Kaol
