SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA (AFP) – A Cambodian airplane fanatic has built his house shaped like a private jet – despite never having been up in the air himself.
Construction worker Chrach Peou spent his USD20,000 life savings building the concrete “plane” – complete with wings, tailfin, landing gear and engines – near the town of Siem Reap, gateway to the famed Angkor Wat temple complex.
The 43-year-old widowed father of three said it took him almost a year to build, using money he had saved over 30 years.
