Late afternoon light stretches across flat rice paddies outside Siem Reap, and the air tastes of dust and green growth. You climb into an ATV, the engine answering like a restless animal, and the track ahead threads between flooded plots, shallow ponds where water buffalo wallow, and low earthen dikes that split fields like veins. As the sun drops, the sky pushes color into the clouds and the whole plain seems to lean toward the horizon.
