From the back end of your cruise ship docked in this container port of Sihanoukville, Cambodia, it is so easy to take good clear photos of this very nearby fishing village named Kampong Pier Tumnup Rolok. It is most likely that your ship's tour list will provide a bus tour that includes a visit to this community which looks to the sea for almost all of its needs.

In this Cambodian village, the men leave in their boats each evening for a night of fishing and then take care of their catch the next morning when they return to their village. Meanwhile, the women are busy running market stalls up on the veery nearby road that runs through the village.

In this village it is essential that the fishermen keep their boats in good usable condition and they have a boatyard right in the middle of their housing area.
