From Battenbang I took the boat to Siem Reap - 9 hours of torture in blistering hot sun with no shade - I burnt my knuckles and my nose for the fourth time this trip and had a minor hallucination that we went through a cloud of bright red insects that no one else saw but otherwise unscathed. The trip takes you through floating villages and river forests ... incredibly beautiful but a bit intrusive as the river is the place where villagers wash, brush their teeth, work and whilst there is only one boat and a day and it is used by locals there are also Westerners taking photos and filming the people going about their business - not sure how i'd feel with someone pointing a camera at me whilst I was having a bath.
