I was in Cambodia in April this year, It is one of the best countries to visit. With the most amazing country side and people. There are some amazing rides to be done, which takes you through some areas, that have not been cleared of landmines or are in the process of doing so.
I was travelling alone through these place and I just kept to a few simple rules, which you did tend to forget now and then. I always stuck to a path created by someone else. This doesn't mean that it has been cleared. But it does mean other people have use it and have survived! When I needed to go to the bathroom or stop to have lunch, I would always park my bike on the road and do my business on the road.
There were times where large trucks came roaring along the path and forced me off the road - you just have do it or you will find your self under the truck. There was a time where a logging truck broke down in the middle of the road and I have to create a path through the jungle to go around it. Again it all comes down to luck.
There are places I passed where they had signs up, informing you of landmines in the area. I almost felt like this was a token - showing you what an NGO was doing for the country.
treat this country with respect and enjoy it. It one of my top countries for motorbike riding.
