Tractors are also a common sight in District Nickerie, the weset of Suriname, because of most rice farmers.
I can also imagine why most go for a motorbike, instead of a car: cheaper, less gasoline and maybe more flexible traveling rural areas.

Tractors like the one in the photo are very rare in Cambodia, because for the rice fields here most people use hand tractors or do it with a water buffalo, or for the very poor, still by hand. Where we are in the mountains is a a lot of fruit and veg farms, so the tractors are better suited for all these out of water tasks. Cars are getting more and more common, especially this new generation of tiny Indian car imports.
