This is a collection of photos on different transportation means used by Cambodia.

| Unsafe practice of transporting heavy road roller. They thought that by putting a few piles of stone or hard soil could prevent the road roller from falling. |
 |
| Garment/Footwear Workers Standing in the Truck Traveling Back and Forth between their home and factories. It is a high risk for them traveling everyday for long distance since there were a lot of avoidable car crashes resulting from drunken driver, over speed, and bad conditions of truck. |
 |
| Imagine if they continue to work overtime 2 to 4 hours on sometime after 8 working hours and they had to stand hanging themselves for another one to two hours before reaching home. They must have been exhausted of work and traveling routinely like that. Hope one day, there are alternatives for them to travel and choose. |
 |
| Safety is not the first priority. This is trash collector in one of the province. The men who were trash collectors found themselves conveniently laying on the carton trash. Hope the driver was not speeding up. |
 |
| Hope they could make the trip through since it looked like it was really overloaded. |
 |
| Truck carrying timber. I am not sure which national road it is. The truck was a self-integration of crane to lift up the timber by itself. The photo was taken in 2013. |
 |
| With modern development in the temporary culture, some of the pottery sellers upgraded their transportation means from using ox cart to using motorbike trailer (remok) or truck carrying pottery. However, the concepts of over loading is still there since they also travel from province to province to sell all of these. |
 |
| From ancient time to now, the pottery makers always traveled from province to province to sell their pottery. In order to do so, they need to make shoes for their cow and practiced wearing the shoes. This is because those cows and ox carts need to travel for a very long distance sometime two weeks or a month until they finished selling their pottery. You could still witness one day when you visit Cambodia and observe the feet of the cow when traveling on national road or paved road. |
 |
| A man on motorbike transporting lots and lots of vegetables and groceries crossing the Cambodia-Vietnam border. This is a useful transport of vegetables since Cambodia imports more vegetables from Vietnam although the country is an agricultural one. |
 |
| This is how most Cambodian bananas sellers transport their bananas in order not to spoil the quality and color. Below are those bananas when they go ripe. These bananas could be damaged easily and their color would become spotted and no one would buy. |
 |
| It is just amazing on such a creativity of transporting these long and lots of bamboos. I could hardly imagine if it were me to transport all of these. |
 |
| The man could travel with the motorbike as long as he could sell all of these cooking pots, pans, and cookers. He spends days and nights from one province to another. |

| I am not sure how the man would move forward with the block of big pile of rotten products. Perhaps, woman sitting on the top would give the signal of going straight, right or left. I believe.
|
 |
| In general, boys in Cambodia help raising the cattle and buffalo in the village after their school time. They always ride their buffalo or cow. |
 |
| Man using bicycle to carry different household handicraft such as house spirit hanger, rotten tray, cooker pad, and long broom. |

| Two men were traveling along national road 4 close to Preah Sihanouk Town, a seaside province. |
