Kampong-Chhnang - Des villages flottants, il y en a plein en Asie. J’ai choisi d’aller photographier celui de Kampong-Chhnang, situé à une centaine de kilomètres au nord de la capitale et beaucoup moins fréquenté par les touristes.
Ce village qui flotte sur la rivière « Tonlé Sap » a une particularité. Il est essentiellement habité par une importante communauté vietnamienne.
Floating village
Kampong-Chhnang - Floating villages, there are plenty of them in Asia. I chose to go and photograph that of Kampong-Chhnang, located about a hundred kilometers north of the capital, much less frequented by tourists.
This village which floats on the “Tonlé Sap” river has a particularity. It is mainly inhabited by a large Vietnamese community.
The matron of this floating house is purchasing fresh produce delivered by boat to her door.
Tonlé Sap lake in Cambodia is part of the Mekong River system and the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. The size and depth of the lake changes dramatically depending on wet or dry season, so structures can't sit on pylons. There are also floating stores, schools, storehouses, henhouses and other structures. Most people are engaged in fishing or trading.
On top of the house on the right, you can see a couple of solar panels. Most of the houses have them so that they can run TVs, small appliances and charge their cell phones.

this photograph is beautiful in my eyes, not only because i took it, but because of the light of the setting sun; the similarity of colours between the lady's top and the boat; and the two wooden beams that frame the shot.

In the background are floating houses that move from place to place depending on the water level of the lake. You would find a village here today, gone tomorrow and relocated to another place!
What is interesting is how they manage utility services. In one of these floating villages, I even saw them having temporary power lines on bamboo poles. I assume they relocate the poles too when they move. I am sure they wouldn’t need any water supply pipelines.
Most of these villages depend on fishing for a living, and it probably suits them well to stay on the waters of the expansive lake. There is no need to buy land too!
La grande traversée depuis Battambang jusqu’à Siem reap sur le Tonlé sap le plus grand lac d'eau douce du Cambodge. Le voyage de plusieurs heures est inoubliable, traversant des villages flottants et sur pilotis d'une grande beauté.
L'autre grand moment au Cambodge avec le site d'Angkor.

Around the harbour, on the Tonlé Sap, the village is composed of houses on stilts. The water level around let people walk with water at waist level. A lot of kids are playing in the water like that.
I spent a few days in Kompong Chhnang spending some time riding rowing barks through the floating villages, walking in the water around house of stilts and admiring the countryside. Many women work has a rowing boat driver to conduct people to their house. Most of them are from the vietnamin comunity, recognisable by the conical hat.
Real life

The Tonlé Sap is combined lake and river system in Cambodia that is also the largest body of water in South East Asia.The Tonle Sap remains relatively small for most of the year, measuring about a meter in depth and covering around 2,700 square kilometers.
However, the river that connects to the lake starts to swell during the monsoon season as water that flows from the Mekong river reverses, helping to expand the Tonle Sap up to 16,000 square kilometers with a depth up to 9 metres deep.
Surrounding fields become flooded with the floodplains acting as the core breeding ground for the Tonle Sap’s plentiful supply of fish.
The seasonal flow from lake and river are responsible for creating more than 75% of Cambodia’s fresh water fish catch and are estimated to directly support more than 3 million people.
