Floating Village on Tonlé Sap
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.
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 change 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.
