Thanks! Tonle Sap is actually a very smelly place...the floating villages have no proper waste disposal system so you can guess where they dump the trash/excreta!

Vietnamese boatpeople? I thought you meant the refugees at the end of Vietnam War.

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

khengsiong : Thanks for dropping by. Forgot my IndoChina history...but they were of Vietnamese origin, and living in boats in Cambodia :)
