I stumbled upon a batch of fascinating old photographs of Cambodia on Facebook ('Khmer Author Chanbo Keo'), some with no source beside lively arguments between commenters in Khmerglish.

And while there are certainly some crazy sights to behold on the Cambodian roadways, nothing today compares to these pictures below. My favorite detail is the two hammocks strung up on the 6th floor of an office building (Monivong Blvd?) in the 2nd photo.

Early 1980s?
