Ratanakiri

Cambodia celebrated the Kings birthday last week, meaning there was yet another national holiday. As part of my mission to see as much of the country as I can, I headed off on a gruelling 12 hour journey to Ratanakiri in the north east with 6 other VSO volunteers. Ratanakiri is famous for its beautiful wild countryside, lakes and waterfalls, and we saw it at its best. We hired two 4-wheel drive cars with guides, which is the only possible way to get around during the rainy season. We swam in a lake, took a boat trip to visit some tribal communities and visited a rubber plantation. Recommended!
