It is mango seasons and at PKH, the mango trees are fruiting. We were given a treat of mangoes from their harvest.
Next, we travel to Snoul, a small market town, close to the Vietnamese border and on the main road from Phnom Penh to Kratie, north east Cambodia and Laos. Along the way, we passed by rubber plantations, tapioca plantations and dragon fruits farm.

At Snoul, we visited a farm that grows tapioca and dragon fruits. In June 2012, the dragon fruits were harvested. Inside the dragon fruit is red colour, high in anti-oxidant. The fruit taste sweet.
They have just harvested tapioca and have chopped them into pieces and dry them in the sun.
Below is a picture of how the workers in the farm stay.
