Cambodia to Vietnam on the Mekong

I took a bus from Phnom Penh to Neak Luong and then a slow boat from there to the border with Vietnam. This border crossing was considerably smoother than the Thailand/Cambodia border crossing at Poi Pet. No bribes were needed this time around.

Once we were through the border we changed boat and continued to Chau Doc. We visited some floating villages on the way. There were not only people living on the house boats but they had animals too. We passed one boat where they were raising pigs and most of the boats had dogs. Everyone was busy preparing for the Chinese New Year known as Tet in Vietnam.

After a night in Chau Doc we took another boat to visit some of the floating markets in the mekong delta and finally finishing up in Can Tho.
