Sarah and I had a sad moment on Sunday as we had our last tuk-tuk drive with Pheng. Driving in Siem Reap is like robin williams- sometimes hilarious but always hairy. Pheng was great because, unlike other (car/scooter/tu-tuk) drivers we've seen and experienced first hand, he didn't beep constantly just to get others out of the way to get places faster- he did it for safety sometimes too! But seriously, he made us feel so comfortable on the roads, gave us cool water far more often than he needed to and was just an all-round nice guy.He doesn't speak English fluently but he can more than get by with his vocabulary and listens intently. When we left him he gave us this (hand-written) card:

Phone number: (855: 092815384)
My name is PHENG I'm a driver in Siem Reap Angkor Cambodia
If anyone is checking out the Angkor sites, drop him a line.
