Traveling the Cambodian Coast

A few months back, I was lucky enough to travel the length of the Cambodian coast, from Kep to Koh Kong, on assignment for a regional inflight magazine. The week-long journey took me from sleepy backwaters and private islands to beach parties and five-star resort dinners. It was a fantastic trip through a region I hadn’t previously explored. Many thanks to all the wonderful people I met along the way. I’ll be back soon enough. For now though, here are a few images to remember things by.
