Tonle Sap Lake villages on stilts

On the way to the Tonle Sap Lake, we can see so many villages on stilts on both sides of the road we travelled.

















Tonle Sap Lake is an important commercial resource, providing more than half of the fish consumed in Cambodia. In harmony with the specialized ecosystems, the human occupations at the edges of the lake is similarly distinctive - floating villages, towering stilted houses, huge fish traps, and an economy and way of life deeply intertwined with the lake, the fish, the wildlife and the cycles of rising and falling waters.
