Bird Hotels


Bird's nests are hugely valuable in South East Asia, one of the most expensive foods in the world.
The Khmers build bird hotels, which simuate the cave environment the birds are used to. They play bird calls all day but louder at dawn and dusk. There are several around Sihanoukville.

You can always recognise them by the lack of paint (it doesn't seem to bother the Khmers that the buildings look hideous) and the bird sized holes.
