		The road distances are from Phnom Penh to Kampong Cham 129km and from Kampong Cham to Prey Veng 80km.

	Cambodia Log » Kampong Speu
		Sihanoukville (Sihanouk Ville, Kampong Som) is where the white beaches and tropical islands are.
		Sihanoukville is also one of the few places in Cambodia with a high concentration of tourists and this has been among the major reason why I have never been there.
		I choose the first option, as it is the most time efficient, and because I have been riding on national road 3 to Kampot before, but not on national road 4 beyond Kirirom National Park.

		Although the government made some "perpindahan" water village nearby to preserve it but people from that village are moving to the shores, abandoning their old home, their heritage from their late ancestors, leaving it to crumble and be torn apart.

	BRUNEI: For Kampong Ayer’s Villagers, Life on the Water is Fine \| Asia Water Wire
		They are not willing to move out of the water village, or Kampong Ayer, and live on the land -- even when free housing is available from the generous government of a sultanate flushed with petrodollars.
		It used to be that when children grow up and live on their own or marry, they could just build another house on stilts next to their parents’ -- they did not have to get anyone’s permission to do this.
		Thus, Brunei’s government is planning to introduce in 2007 a major redevelopment scheme to “beautify” the community, which according to the government officials will include building concrete pathways to replace the rickety wooden ones and requiring the setting up of “fire breakers” in the building planning policy to prevent fires.

		Kampong Buangkok, the last traditional village in urban Singapore was used as a case study by a group of RGS students to examine people’s views on kampong lifestyle and its heritage value, and to see if this influenced their opinions about the conservation of the kampong.
		Kampongs were generally viewed as backward and unhygienic, and treated as a “getaway” rather than a residence.
		Nevertheless, kampongs were felt to be tied to heritage and should be conserved for education and tourism.

	The Death Toll in Cambodia: Quantifying Crimes Against Humanity (Craig Etcheson)
		As witness Ok Tuon notes of Khmer Rouge activity in Kampong Chhnang's Prey Damrei Srot prison, “none of the relatives of the accused was spared.” Also in Kampong Chhnang Province at Prey Ta Kuch, according to Uk Yun, the Khmer Rouge took “families” to be executed.
		Kampong Chhnang is an anomaly, with only four- percent of the total population, but more than twenty percent of the total victims.
		As a result, Kampong Chhnang earns the highest score on the “Brutality Index,” which is derived by dividing the percentage of total victims into the percentage of total population for each province.
