The River Sprite, a spritely vessel indeed, plies the Mekong River from Chau Doc in Vietnam all the way to Phnom Penh.

Visit the Wat Thanh Temple

The Wat Thanh Temple is a striking pagoda at the corner of Norodom Boulevard and Street 394 in Phnom Penh.

It was destroyed by the Khmer Rouge, but has since been rebuilt.

The temple is home to a vocational training program aimed at helping to reintegrate landmine-disabled Cambodians back into society, through tuition in carpentry, silk weaving, tailoring, and computing skills.

Handicrafts, furniture and clothing produced in the workshops are sold in the temple's craft shop.
