More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick off from town with the scooter’s modest thrum beneath you, wind trimming the heat as rice paddies and salt flats unfold like pages. Salt pans flash silver in the sun; pepper vines climb wooden pergolas, their fruit hanging like dark promises. A narrow lane climbs toward a limestone cave-temple where the view opens—paddy fields, a thin river line, and the distant rise of Bokor’s karst silhouette.
