Indeed I forgot this could matter. So the place is in Cambodia and the
valley is in a V shape, mountains bing outside of the V and the top of
the V facing the sea (or kind of....).

And so I asked if satellite connection was an option as it is what he
thought about, but I am not sure he knows of any provider at this stage.

Thank you.
