In Siem Reap's less frequented floating village of Kompong Khleang, there are no restaurants and souvenir shops. Instead, hundreds of residential houses are built on stilt; on the banks of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake: Tonlé Sap ("vast body of fresh water"). Varying in size, shape and design, these structures rise more than 10 meters in the air, for homeowners to escape excessive fluctuations in water levels. The area houses some 1800 families, all of whose life rhythm is season-dictated.
Cattle farmers transport forage grass for their livestock, on a dirt road somewhere between Siem Reap and Kompong Khleang.
