Yesterday Trish and I saw the floating village of Kompong Phhluk. It's pretty crazy, basically it's an entire village with houses that are on 6-7m tall stilts. When we went (this is the rainy season) the houses were only maybe 1-2m above the water, but the great thing about going now is that you can take a small boat and paddle through a nearby submerged forest next to Tonle Sap lake.
Today was a good break from temple exploring (though we went to a temple of Bakong to see the sunset) and we got to see an entirely different lifestyle. In order to go to your neighbor's house, you got to swim or take a boat. There were kids that were probably only a few years old, swimming and paddling like pros.
Tonle Sap lake.
Til my next update.
