Tonle Sap Lake and Kompong Phluk
village scenes - Tonle Sap Lake and the area around it is in constant
change because the water rises up to 20 feet during the course of the
year. Therefore all the inhabitants either build their houses on
stilts, live in small houses that can easily be transported to new dry
land every month or so, or live in house boats. More pictures and info on
the following pages.
