Amazing Bamboo Bridge to Koh Paen / Koh Sotin (Island) - Kampong Cham, Cambodia
WestIslandKev: June 3, 2013 - Kampong Cham, Cambodia.
Bamboo Bridge, Kampong Cham to Paen Island, a rural island in the Mekong River, connected to the southern reaches of Kompong Cham town by an elaborate bamboo bridge in the dry season or a local ferry in the wet season. The bamboo bridge is an attraction in itself, totally built by hand each year and it stands out from afar looking rather odd to say the least. There are temples on the island as well as farmers growing tobacco and sesame plants for the seeds.
Welcome to Cambodia! I departed Montreal May 28, 2013 travelling to Cambodia and filming my journey. Here I share the flight videos as well as highlights of my visit to the Kingdom of Wonder. Please check out my videos and let me know what you think. I hope that you enjoy!

Trip to Koh Pen Island at Kampong Cham Province
We got back from our trip from Tboung Khmum Province on the way to Kampong Cham Province in Cambodia. We continue to Koh Pen and crossing the bamboo bridge to Koh Penh on a Van. The bridge is new as they just announced a couple days ago for people to cross this bridge. Mostly people who are living on Pen Island (Koh Pen) coming and going on this island. The price for one person per time is 500 riel and car 20,000 riel.
Your support is a huge encouragement for me as a Khmer to continue sharing the tourist attraction places in Cambodia to all Khmer and the World and bring more tourists to Cambodia.

Approach to the Bamboo Bridge to Koh Paen / Koh Sotin in Kampong Cham, Cambodia
WestIslandKev: April 20, 2011 - Kampong Cham, Cambodia.
I filmed this video 2 years ago, April 2011, and is the first time that I drove across the amazing bamboo bridge to visit Koh Paen / Koh Sotin (Island) in Kampong Cham Province, couple hours east if the capital Phnom Penh in Cambodia. The previous day I had seen several large SUV's traversing the bridge at the same time so I figured it would be safe. It is rebuilt every year to access the island during the dry season. There is actually a new formal bridge being planned and built to the island so it was quite important to try this mini-engineering marvel using the strength of bamboo before it no longer exists.

Crossing the Bamboo Bridge to Koh Pen at Kampong Cham Province
It's an amazing bamboo bridge in Kampong Cham province when we cross this bridge by Van to Koh Pen (Pen Island) over the river in this province. The bridge is strong and it's good crossing bridge for local people from the Koh Pen Island coming to Kampong Cham city and People from Kampong Cham city can visit the island by crossing this bridge. We like the play in the water at this island.

Small but Mighty Kampong Cham, Cambodia
Kampong Cham is a city and province in Cambodia located on the Mekong River. Relatively close to Phnom Penh and Vietnam, Kampong Cham has always been an important trade and transportation hub; expensive river boats now slowly make their way up and downriver from either Saigon to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) or from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap.
We stopped at Smile Restaurant which fronts the Mekong for a delicious lunch. The restaurant is run by a Buddhist organization who offers young men and women who are at risk, shelter, training in the restaurant business and then helps them find a position. It felt really good knowing yummy food equated with doing good at the same time. Eat at Smile Restaurant when passing through Kampong Cham.
Koh Paen Bamboo Bridge in Kampong Cham
Riding across the Koh Paen bamboo bridge, which is constructed by locals every year during the dry season, and gets washed away by the waters of the Mekong every year during rainy season

The Bamboo Bridge - Kampong Cham - Cambodia
The Bamboo Bridge and Koh Paen, located a few blocks south of the bridge spanning the Mekong, is a solid bamboo structure built to Koh Paen island across the Mekong. On the other side is endless Cham and Khmer villages, entirely mounted on stilts. This is a great place to drive along if you want to check out the people of the land. The bamboo bridge can even withstand trucks, so don't worry about whatever you're taking, just be careful not to fall into the river. The bridge is washed away as the river rises in the wet season, and access to the island is only possible by boat, but it is rebuilt again every dry season.
The car after one huge muddy pothole on Koh Paen / Koh Sotin Island in Kampong Cham, Cambodia
WestIslandKev: April 20, 2011 - Kampong Cham, Cambodia.
We went through one huge muddy patch and almost got stuck and the car was totally spattered in mud on just one side. Afterwards we found the most amazing family-run customer oriented car wash where for a couple of dollars they washed the car including underneath and also vacuumed the interior and trunk, washed the windows and polished the tires.

Bamboo Bridge at Kampong Cham Province in Cambodia
We are walking on the bamboo bridge at Kampong Cham Province in Cambodia. It's a bamboo bridge connected from Koh Pen (Pen Island to Kampong Cham City. People who lives on this island need to travel on this bamboo bridge everyday. Some by motorcycles, some by bicycles, and some by cars. It's built by Khmer engineer. When we step on it and walk, we feel that the bamboo bridge is not strong and shaky like a swing bridge but it's not swinging. Walking on it is ok but if we drive a car on it, we will feel a bit scary as it's not stable like driving on land.
Your support is a huge encouragement for me as a Khmer to continue sharing the tourist attraction places in Cambodia to all Khmer and the World and bring more tourists to Cambodia.
