This booklet was made by me intermittently coming and going to Cambodia's borders between 2005 and 2009. 　The border changed further after I recorded it by putting together the one for a long time. There are also things that have modernized. 　Moreover, the time one causes, and I might not be able to fit the border as a content. The border also repeats the upheaval turbulent as well as the capital and the old capital that much. 　At the same time, human rights and social issues stand out in countries where the scars of the civil war are tailed. However, how much is the border opening informed here achieved? The road surface is depicted as red clay or not. It's my interest in extremely trivial and everyday things. I also incorporate the scenery seen from the side of the road. This is an essay that I focused on them.

「Passion Highway!? Angkor Wat Cambodia」is the standard way to Angkor Wat by land.
Here, many people and vehicles pass from ancient times.
And even now, many people and vehicles pass through here. This is the border.
What is common throughout each chapter is as follows:
I wrote and spelled it to the last centering on the appearance of the border.
In this booklet, I write the most important road running in the center of the country and the path along the KOHKONG on the sea side.
There are three borders that come out here.
Chapter 1 is the border of ARANYAPRATATE・POIPET, well known as the land border of Thailand and Cambodia.
Chapter 2 is the border of HATLEK・KOHKONG on the sea side border.
Chapter 3 is the border of MOCBAI・BAVET, famous as the border between Vietnam and Cambodia.
The chance to do this work becomes it like this.
I have been reporting on information magazines for Japanese people published in Thailand since the 1990s.
Such a thing is in me.
So, as an extension of the matter, I got down to this.
In the latter half of the 2000s, I will come and go again between the land-side border and the sea-side border.
So，I write that it's changing, and as a book, I'm putting it together.
Now I can clearly see my impressions along the road.
Then, there is this and that that it did not think for me.
It is a difference of the impression when I compare the road of the border in the middle of the civil war and the road of the border while the civil war ends, and sightseeing progresses.
The person's coming and going are not spared here now.
Therefore, I may change the road from the appearance of the doorway of the reborn border to the name "Highway".
I might add word "Highway".
I think this place has come at such a time.
Chapters 1 and 3 are presumed to have the image of the Old Highway.
Then, I think that an old-fashioned highway has passed the time which had been shut down by the civil war.
For me, here is like the one that the traffic of the person and the thing to Angkor Wat revives.
On the other hand, the path to Angkor Wat in Chapter 2 is a little different.
Against the backdrop of the surrounding land, the mountains on the border here stand out somewhat higher than the land in the neighboring area.
Therefore, it is thought that the mountain which looks high has closed the relation between two opposite areas.
Otherwise, it might have been the one of a thin relation.
However, from now on, it seems that this place will approach the era of prosperity through economic activities little by little.
As a factor, a bridge was made on the sea side border between Thailand and Cambodia.
In addition, the presence of the sea route from ancient times was weak.
However, there is a famous Sihanouk building as a fishing port when a present Cambodia side is advanced along the sea even if it says so.
The presence in this country may have been unexpectedly large for a long time.
