Kompong Chhnang (yes, that's the correct spelling) is 50 miles North of Phnom Pehn, the capital of Cambodia. This is a wholesale hub for domestic and international fish sales. We ventured up to see the catch and arrived in town around 11:00 AM. No fish. What's the deal?
The deal is fisherman fish at night, often out for two nights. They tend to return about 3:00AM and sort and sell all their catch by 5:00AM. On the wholesale fish market, things need to move fast and early to the end buyer. Local product refrigeration, except raw ice, is non-existent.
The next several photographs are of a derelict, extremely high-quality. Weird/creepy airport funded by the Chinese during the mid 1970's, as a secret air-base to keep their eye on a troublesome neighbor, Vietnam. To make sure the air-base remained secret, all 10,000 Cambodian laborers that built the airport, upon near completion, were bound and buried alive to keep the project quiet.
All the other photographs are random of this simple little town.
