About Me
Chea Phal, a citizen of Cambodia, graduated from Institute of Foreign Languages in this July 2006 and currently working in a Japanese NGO in the fields of educational and cultural rehabilitation to provide equal education to Cambodian children, especially to poor children in remote areas.
This personal online journal is nothing more than records of daily life of what I see through my camera’s lenses. I have greatly enjoyed my passion for photography after getting my Nikon D80 in September 2008.
The word “tumnei” is a Khmer word meaning “having spare time” in English. As I usually stroll for some shots when I can effort spare time, it might explain the name.
My Gear
- Nikon D80

Bang Phymean, thank for dropping by. Actually, by chance on that day they were schedule to conduct Mobile Library activities at your center and I needed to interview some children working on the dumping site, so I went there with them. I am doing a small research there, if I have time I also want to interview you as well.
Hope to see CNN Here in person some day.

Hi there,
Stumble on your photo blog on the website. It is very informative. I’m a Malaysian and have been in Phnom Penh for about 8 months now.
I’m actually working with a local advertising agency and is doing some research on internet usage in Cambodia, especially Cambodians.
Do you know where I can find out more information – some data?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,

Hi Mega,
You are right that Chrang Chamres is a big Muslim community. There are many Muslim communities along the National Road No. 5. There is also a big Mosque near Beonng Kok backpacker area at the back of Phnom Penh hotel. There are may Halal restaurants in Phnom Penh where I guess you get more information. Good luck with your trip.
