Kompong Cham

Unwilling to give up on the northern Cambodia Khmer temples, I went down to Kompong Cham and tried to find a guide to take me. I was told to forget it, no one would do it. After a day or two, though, I did manage to find a guy who knew a guy in Kompong Thom who would supposedly take me. But in the mean time, I spent a couple days touring this pretty cool town in Central Cambodia.
