Mekong river, Phnom Penh

A boat travels along the Mekong river in Phnom Penh on August 10, 2012. Written off as a failed state after the devastating 1975-1979 Khmer Rouge regime and several decades of civil war, Cambodia has used garment and footwear exports and tourism to help improve its economy, but remains one of the world's poorest countries with around 30 percent of its 14 million people living on less than a dollar a day.
