This weeks image was captured at the floating village of Chong Kneas that is situated at the Northern end of Cambodia’s Lake Tonle Sap. It would no doubt be a hard life for most of the people living here, although there were quite a few very respectable houses throughout the village. Most of the people living within the floating village are refugees from neighboring Vietnam, and sadly were looked down upon by some of the local Cambodia’s I talked to in Siem Reap.
The village of Chong Kneas is only a short moto ride away from Siem Reap, and makes for an easy half day trip if you need a break from the temples of Angkor. You won’t have any issues in organizing a boat to take you for a quick cruise around the area.
