Motorcyle Driver : Cambodia

Took a tour of the town of Poi pet with a local motorcycle driver named N. N followed me 3 separate times over 2 days from the border, he waited for me each time. N spoke Thai so that is the language we communicated in, a farang speaking poor Thai with a Cambodian who spoke better, worked fine thou!

N had 2 children and a wife, they lived in a $500 baht a month apartment (about $18 CAD). A nice gentle polite man who was just trying to make a living and support his family. We visited 2 temples and did a slow tour of the streets. I gave him more money that we agreed on and thanked him for his time. Got his phone number in the future if I return I want to contact him again, would love to meet his family and learn more about his life.
