Signs on the Mekong

Spit pig roast sign in Kratie

A fascination with hand-painted street signs has prompted Sam Roberts to put the pick of his collection into a book, Hand Painted Signs of Kratie, 100 pages long, which he hopes to self-publish in the next couple of months. His focus will be limited to those signs he has located in the riverside town where he lives, Kratie, along the Mekong River. He will translate the signs that he selects to put in his book as well as including an essay on how the signs fit into everyday life in Cambodia.
