Morning light spills across flat rice paddies as your tuk‑tuk threads a road that smells faintly of earth and spice. Drivers here know every turn; the countryside opens in stages — small Khmer villages, a pepper plantation with vines trained over wooden trellises, and a quiet, seasonal lake that swells and shrinks with the rains. By late afternoon the salt fields glitter like a low, white sea under a wide Cambodian sky.
