Lake Tonle Sap is a half hour drive from Siem Reap. It offers a nice break from all the time
spent at the temples not to mention a break from the tourists. Chartering a boat will take
you to the floating village which is a fishing village comprised of small house boats. Though
most of the village is comprised of these houseboats, there are many small dwellings that are
deliberately built with light materials so the families can move with the lake as it expands
and contracts due to the amount of rain.
