This was recorded as part of a multi-day Mekong Delta tour that started in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) and finished in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is a unique experience to cross the border over water rather than overland. We were amongst the first groups to cross the Vietnam-Cambodia border by boat in 2001.
Though there are many birds close by, you can also hear townspeople, tourists, and honking horns from a nearby road.
