The floating villages at Tonle Sap Lake are becoming some thing of an curiosity for visitors going to Siem Reap. The fascination with folks who reside in floating houses, travel to floating schools and try to eat at floating restaurants is quite an appeal for the many visitors that come to Cambodia.
As well as the floating villages, additionally, there are stilted villages along the banks of Tonle Sap Lake, where houses and buildings rest on high, thin stilts that keep the occupants dry during the wet season, with large ladders to reach the lower levels during the dry season.
