意思
Traveling by walking.
文化背景
In cities like Phnom Penh, walking on the sidewalk is often difficult because sidewalks are used for parking motorbikes or as extensions of shops. Therefore, 'ដើរថ្មើរជើង' often involves walking on the edge of the road. In villages, walking is the primary way to get to rice fields. The phrase might be shortened to just 'ដើរទៅស្រែ' (walk to the field), but 'ថ្មើរជើង' is used when talking to outsiders or in formal village meetings. There is a massive trend of 'walking for health' at 5:00 AM and 5:00 PM in public parks. This is a social event where people wear colorful tracksuits and 'ដើរថ្មើរជើង' in groups. Major tourist towns like Siem Reap have designated 'Pedestrian Streets' where cars are banned. These are officially labeled as 'ផ្លូវដើរថ្មើរជើង'.
Use it for Tuk-tuks
