Tale of Cambodia : Tonle Sap
On the 2nd day of Siem Reap trip we went to Tonle Sap, in Khmer language, means "large fresh water river" or "Great Lake". This place is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia and is an ecological hot spot that was designated as a UNESCO biosphere in 1997. Where we visited Kampung Phluk, crocodile and fish farm. In this place you will see a so-called "floating village".

This place is 30-minutes drive from Siem Reap proper. You need to pay USD20.00 per head to get in to the place. Inclusive of two-way ferry ride. If you are a kind of person who is in awe by nice scenery and pleasant atmosphere this place is not for you.

floating village
As you will view this as an ordinary river but as you come closer you will see a different perspective. A humbling experience which reminds us of how lucky are we.

do you think cambodia will soon overtake the philippines in terms of economic development?
I don't think so Angeli. their political history/struggles is more than than what the Philippines has. long way to go for them...what I'm afraid of is Vietnam's development strategy and plans. I say so because of the initiatives of their government to modernized and built infrastructure with the cooperation and ties with Singapore government and World Bank. let's see then...
