PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – As dusk starts to set in, heavy rain is lit up by lights from vehicles that navigate Phnom Penh’s riverside roads. Rows of tuk-tuks line the streets, drivers huddled inside as they seek shelter from downpours that are common at this time of year. When the rain eases, tuk-tuks gather along the promenade, with drivers sitting cross-legged in groups to exchange stories and socialize before their next call to work. Some head to the edge of the river to watch the lights reflected on the water.drivers catch some rest in hammocks that gently swing inside their vehicles, while others eat food over a makeshift table on the floor.
As the dark sets in, people settle for the night. Tuk-tuk drivers return to their vehicles to sleep, benches become occupied with the homeless and others find a resting place for the night on pavements and wooden tables along the riverside.
