Christopher Pym originally went to Indo-China in 1956. He stayed 20 months and during 1957 made the seven-week journey described in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe travelled the 450 miles on foot, seeking to trace an ancient Khmer road, which may have linked Angkor to the coast. Overcoming the hazards of tigers, a blocked frontier and the rigours of Asian life at peasant level, and ignoring rumours of wars in Vietnam, he set off into the jungle with a small group of tribesmen. His picture of rural, Buddhist Cambodia, now independent, is of an interesting and little-known country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe describes conditions there and in Vietnam with knowledge and understanding, and gives a fascinating account of the varied customs of tribes found right off the beaten track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68027042562284,"sku":"9781912081325","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781912081325-the-road-to-angkor-stanfords-travel-classics-1.jpg?v=1793579916"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/christopher-pym.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
