Angkor - Kompong Phluk floating village houses around 3000 fishermen. It is quite amazing to see an entire village living above water. Tonle Sap is the largest lake in South East Asia. We had to take a Khmer bumboat from the ferry to the floating village.

We arrived at one of the stilt houses, at this house they kept caged crocodiles. For a paid sum of a fish, the owner dropped the bait into the cage for us to watch the ferocity of the crocodiles.

This sampan hawkers persuade tourist to buy school text books for the children studying in the Floating village. The sampan went close to the floating school and gave them the text books. We would not know whether this is a tourist scam trap or the real deal.

After this back to the floating village, to the jetty and then drive 45 mins to our hotel. It was a very tiring day.
