"As the tuk tuk hummed into Takeo we were exhausted, disoriented and hungry - it was now well after dark. The final twelve kilometers after our driver pulled some water from a roadside ditch near a petrol stand seemed to take an eternity. We passed a bizarre red-light district with several dozen working girls and lady boys, a few beer shacks and eerie red-lights dangling from the branches above, the towering trees provided a veil of darkness while the red glow and tiny dresses made the whole spectacle seem like a strange, forest."
