Travel advise - let's visit Pursat!

I've just spent a week-end at Phnom Kravanh district of Pursat province, the place famous for its rich forest resources and glass stones (or pencil stone). The glass stone (or pencil stone) is a unique type of granite only available in Pursat, and is used to produce artistic souvenirs.

An Amazon-like view of Pursat river.

I last visited Phnom Kravanh district about a decade ago, and now it's much developed--full of wealthy people reportedly making rich from "Kror Nhung" and illegal logging.

I met this boy when I took his house for shelter from the rain on my way from Pursat provincial town to the Phnom Kravanh district. He's 3 years old, but looked small from the poor nutrition.

Not all of you, my readers, know where I was born. Well, I was born in Pursat. I recommend you make a visit to the place, and you'll be amazed by the views along your way decorated by dense pure forest and the amazing view of Pursat river :)
