Absence of motor road is the biggest challenge facing the people of Upper Kheng. They have to carry virtually everything on their horses and when something like a heavy diesel generator can not be loaded on a horse, two or more people become the beasts of burden.

In this picture, two people were carrying a heavy diesel engine generator for contractors erecting rural telecom towers in Thajong village. Motor road is seen by the people of Upper Kheng as the most important development activity during the next plan.
