As the tropical storm Ketsana hits landfall in Vietnam and Cambodia, Hoi An is under water in central Vietnam and storms in Cambodia's Kompong Thom Province have seen some loss of life in Sandan district. Overnight rain in Siem Reap has left the old market area under water including pub street and other areas including Wat Bo road and the roads in front of Hotel De La Paix, Amansara and La Residence Hotels. National Road 6 out towards the airport is also under water. In Angkor, the roads around Prasat Kravann and Banteay Kdei are flooded and the level of the water in the moat surrounding Angkor Wat is at its peak. At the moment Phnom Penh hasn't really been affected. Fingers crossed the rain disappears and the sun comes out.
