Amazing 'floating' village. Place for non stop photo taking.
Amazing 'floating' village. Place for non stop photo taking. The houses were high on their stilts as the water was low - at the end of our boat ride we had lunch in one; quite a few steps to climb!! It was quite a long fast boat ride out to the lake - not much to see in the lake itself but lots of activity to see on the way as locals fished in the river.
A very different view on how people live and work and although the houses look ramshackle the people are lovely and everything is 'pretty' in its own way.
On the way there and back we drove through villages seeing the fish being dried and smoked - our guide stopped to buy some for his dinner!
A wonderful experience not to be missed.

Slice of life on Tonle Sap
I am a yearly visitor to Siem Reap and this was my first experience visiting Kampong Khleang about 90 minutes away. I believe that it is a community of about 10K people, and their main source of income is fishing. Life is very very challenging here, but the people are exceptionally warm and interactive. For me, a significant goal of my journeys to Cambodia is about PERSPECTIVE .... and this place serves as a profound example of such. It is a real eye-opener. Please consider visiting this little village and help them in any way possible by purchasing souvenirs.
