kilometres on the west, on
the continent. Its surface

easy to observe, and it
counts among its members
over 200 species of animals.
The island has more than
thirty white sand beaches

small deserted beaches, some
of which appear or disappear
with the tides. The east
coast of the island is the
finest, wildest and remains
difficult to access by its
lands. The nearest island is
Koh Samui in the south
(approximately 20 km) and
Koh Tao in the north and 65

new slogan and logo of
Vietnam

stylized by five different
colours symbolizing the
charm of Vietnamese tourism.
The lotus, new logo of the

in Takeo will begin during

investment of $ 10 million
is realized by Canadian
Bank. Recently, this one
increased funding for
agricultural projects,
particularly in the rice
sector. The rice mill would
produce 300 tons of rice per
day and 60,000 a year. In
the long-term, production
could reach 100,000 tons per
year, therefore one tenth of
objective fixed by The Prime
Minister Hun Sen: export one
million tons by 2015. Today,
the ability of rice milling
in Takeo reaches 100 tons
per day.
Small
Christmas account: the
village of Sdei-Bet-Méas
In the
commune of Trâpéang Russei,
Kompong Svay canton, in the
province of Kompong Thom, if
you walk along the river,
you will find a small
village called
Sdei-Bet-Méas, or named "the
Altingia tree covered with
gold". This tree had now
disappeared, but not the
legend which accompanies it.
According to «Tales and
legends of the Khmer
country» of Professor Hoc Dy
Khing: Long time ago, the
family of a dam fishing
chief composed of a man, his
wife and their nubile
daughter of a resplendent
beauty, lived in a pond
while fishing near the hut
of a genius of the ground,
Néak-ta, the tree SDEI.
Fishing for this dam head
was prosperous every year.
He became a very fortunate
man thanks to his business.
The area was infested with
mosquitoes. One day in the
twilight, the dam chief
gathered his family and his
servants. And he spoke them
in jest: "Is there, among
you, anybody who would dare
to lie and exposed to
mosquitoes for a night?" At
this time, a young single
servant, beautiful and
intelligent replied that he
accepted: "I dare. If I can
lie and exposed to
mosquitoes during a whole
night, will you give me a
reward, master? " Hurt, the
head of the dam replied,
"Rascal, You know how to
only boast. Nobody asked you
to take care of that." The
servant riposted and said:
"If you say that I boast, I
pray you, master, to make a
bet with me. I shall dare to
pledge all that you will
want." The master began more
and more angry and said to
him: "I'll bet all my
properties. I will leave
without anything if you dare
to accept that I bind you
leaving you exposed to
mosquitoes overnight. But if
you steal or if you can’t
resist, do you accept to be
my slave and to serve me? "
The servant replied: "I
agree, Master, if you gave
me your daughter, if I win."
The boss said that he
accepted without hesitation
"Hey You, valets! Stop him
and tie up him on SDEI tree
behind the hut of the
"genius of the ground". I
agree to try the bet against
this guy, and you help in
serving me as witnesses" The
servant left tied up and
attached to the tree SDEI.
When others were returned to
their homes, this young
servant asked the genius of
this place to come to his
rescue. "Save me, Lord
Genius, I'm too involved in
the bet with the fisherman
master. Make that no
mosquito bites me, that I
stay alive and I get the
hand of the daughter of the
dam head, make that I take
possession of his
properties. If, as I wish, I
get all this, I make you the
promise to buy gold to cover
this tree SDEI from its foot
to the summit and also to
build a wooden hut covered
with tiles for the offering,
Lord genius. " While the
master thought: "This stupid
servant who was left tied up
is now exposed to
mosquitoes. They will kill
him by sucking his blood.
But if he can’t resist and
calls to deliver him before
midnight, he will be my
slave for the rest of his
life. " During that night,
the genius of the SDEI tree,
who had gambled away with
other geniuses, had brought
them all the mosquitoes of
the region to pay its debts.
Usually, there were so many
mosquitoes that it seemed we
launched on the fly rice
hulls. But that night it was
deserted, no mosquito. And
no one came to prick the
young servant, with his
luck, he would have married
the predestined daughter of
the dam chief and he would
become rich. When the day
rose, the fisherman master
and his servants discussed:
"The servant attached to the
tree SDEI has certainly gave
up the ghost." They gathered
to go to see. But the master
and the other servants saw
him smiling. So those who
saw him admired with respect
the magic power of this
young servant. Desperate,
the master said to the
servants: " According of the
engagement of yesterday
evening, this young servant
won, I must give him all my
fortune and give my daughter
in marriage." The same day
the dam head ordered to kill
pigs, chickens and ducks to
prepare the wedding feast of
his young servant with her
daughter. Then he endowed it
with all his properties and
gave his job to succeed him.
The master took his wife and
went to live in his old
house. The new master
fisherman told his wife: "
We have to order to somebody
to buy gold leaves to cover
the sdei tree with it and
that we build a hut for the
genius to whom I made a
promise and I pleaded." When
all this was built, this
genius became very powerful
and effective. It was not
only the master fisherman
who paid him tribute, all
the locals and travelers
along the river also asked
protection for this revered
genius. And so from this
time he became known as the
"genius of the SDEI tree
covered with gold." Nowadays
the SDE tree is dead. And
the hut which the master
fisherman built fell into
disrepair and was destroyed.
It remains only the location
of the SDEI tree and a
genius hut covered with
thatch. According to this
legend, the village situated
on the river next to the hut
of genius still bears the
name of Phoum-Sdei-Bet-Méas,
that is to say, "Village of
the altingia tree covered
with or ". (Extract from «
petit journal du Cambodge »)
