I’m guessing they don’t give tickets out for driving while talking on a cellphone out there. I wonder what the motorbike per capita looks like for that area? Must be pretty high. Nice shots, Rob.

No idea about talking and driving law, but if they do it isn’t bothering that guy!

I imagine it’s higher than developed countries, but from what I’ve heard still lower than Vietnam.

Oh and thanks, I think everyone of these photos were taken on the back of a tuk-tuk so they aren’t the most focused but certainly capture the spirit :-)

Even worse when they txt while driving the bike… just when we thought it was bad to drive a car and txt.

Dustin – Combine that with complete lack of helmets in the photo’s and you’d think there was multiple disasters waiting daily there.

@Rob Cambodia was motorcycle crazy, but still nothing compared to Vietnam!
