Today's highlights are the historic Ba Chuc killing village and Tra Su forest. After breakfast at the hotel, we travel on the road, a 30-minute transfer west of Rach Gia to a tiny town for today's ride to Chau Doc. In the morning, we ride to Ba Chuc, the fertility of Mekong land offers the vast farmlands and agricultural canals system. Under the shade of cajeput trees, we take it easy and ride along the dams, past some families making oils from cajeput, melaleuca's leaves. It's one of the traditional medications and has been used for years. We will see locals farming on the endless verdant farmlands and sampans moving along canals. 

Stop at the Ba Chuc village, visit it's memorial that worship more than 3 thousand people. The village is closed to the Cambodia border, and Pol Pot attached it in 1978. Then we break for lunch in a small town. We wander through Khmer hamlets with palm trees in their surroundings. There are some smaller towns along, and most people here live essentially on farming. Views the mountain spectacle and undulate on back roads to Tra Su forest. The forest is about 800,000-hectare forest is home to an astounding number of wading birds. The rainy season is the best time for breeding. We will have the sampan boat paddled and the motorized boat long, narrow channels when plenty of storks, herons, birds, and bats are returning home to sleep. Afterwards, we cycle through the parks, passing the lotus fields, and the colourful pagoda, and we end up on today's ride in Sam mountain.

Take a rest, and transfer up to Sam Mountain Loge Resort. Relax your legs by the pool, admire the sunset, and looking over the Cambodia border.
