The Flow of Life on Tonlé Sap

From this panoramic view, it's easy to see how Tonlé Sap Lake is more than just water—it’s a lifeline. Boats come and go, people wade through the shallows, and tuk-tuks wait at the riverbank, all part of the daily rhythm of Cambodia’s stilt house villages.

 

The lake’s ever-changing waters dictate the pace of life here. Whether fishing, trading, or traveling, everything revolves around the rise and fall of this vast freshwater ecosystem. It’s a world where land and water blur, creating a unique way of life found nowhere else.
