PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News): A local Siem Reap man, passionate about infusing vintage allure into the tourism scene, has reinvented a classic French colonial mode of tourist transport, the bicycle drawn remorque – but with a modern twist.

Bo Sophea and a colleague began their retro adventure several months ago, whisking an Italian pair of newlyweds through the vibrant streets of Siem Reap town to the world-famous Angkor Archaeological Park. From the first day, the duo claimed the experience was seamless, with the two guests settling comfortably into the quaint rickshaws of yesteryear.
