Chi Phat, Cardamom Mountains

First night in Chi Phat community. Had dinner at the Ecotourism community center and went lobster fishing (actually like shrimps) near the village.
Spent 2 nights in the jungle sleeping in hammocks, water bottle shower near a small creek, saw a Gibbon (monkey), a couple snakes, hornbill birds, black scorpions under a log. Our guide (Leeheng) was an ex-poacher, he showed us different animal tracks and droppings (elephant, wild dogs, summer deer, civet cats). Stayed 2nd night near a waterfall where we could cliff dive, swim, and sit in the waterfall getting a water massage.
Got back to the community center just after lunch and relaxed, it was very hot outside! Went for a walk and then got invited for beers and peanuts with our jungle cook (Mr. Chin) outside his house. Spent another night at the homestay then headed to Sihanoukville the next day.Read more
