His home

<< other stories

This is Kun's home. The houses in Cambodia are different from those in Scotland:

• The stilts are to prevent snakes and other dangerous animals from getting into the house.
• There is no front door because they don’t have to worry about burglars.
• The family's animals, such as cows and pigs, live underneath the house.
• The family all sleep in the one big room.
• There is no running water or taps in the house so Kun’s family have to use rainwater or water from the well instead.
