His name is Kim Chamnoern. He is 39 years old. He works as a farmer, palm trees climber and more. For the palm trees, he can collect over 400 to 500 liters per palm tree. The difficulty to climb the palm tree is you have to really careful because sometimes you might fall off from the palm and as all of you already know that the palm trees are so high, if you fall off from the tree you might get a really big injuries, but fortunately, for him he never meet any accident. Last year, he had some helped from his family so he climbs the palm tree until 40 trees, but this year he only does it by himself so he can only climb 20 trees. He has a lot of palm trees, but sometimes he not just climb his own palm trees sometimes, he rented other people palm trees so he can climb and then give the palm trees owners money. He also told us that, they’re not a specific day or month or year that we can climb the palm trees, we can climb the palm trees as long as the trees have palm stalk. On the other hand, even though there are a lot of palm trees in Kampong Speu province, but they’re still not a lot of people climb the palm trees anymore they just go to work as Construction workers or work in the factories. There only 10% of people left that continue to climb the palm trees.
