Hope you'll see it, I've seen it coz Im making my thesis about it.:))It's very peaceful in there. And according to them, people might think they're unfortunate (just like in cambodia), but actually they're living so good and simple.:) hey..don’t you know guys we also have floating village here in the philippines. sa Agusan marsh…and living in these floating houses is becoming a tradition that people in there want to cherish and preserve.

Evidently it's existence is recorded in carvings at the Bayon Wat so it's been a way of life for centuries. The water is filthy everywhere in Cambodia, as it was in at least this part of the Tonle Sap - same same but different as they say. I just got back from Cambodia and visited the floating village.

I have seen the pictures you took in Anawangin. Really breathtaking. The story and pictures you took in Cambodia, very informative and different from the usual stuff I read about Cambodia. Galing! I hope to read and see more pictures on you next trip. You are one talented young man. I have seen the pictures you took in Anawangin. Really breathtaking.

Ang galing! It's a good call to focus on Tonle Sap for a change. Everyone else I know chose to gush exclusively about Angkor. The pictures are insane (as usual). Ang galing!

Looking at them, I can almost feel the place. I wonder if mothers worry about their babies crawling right off the edge of their houses and drown. On the other hand, it must also be relaxing with the gentle rocking of the water. For me, I'll be hanging on the edge, puking my guts out. Rocking anything just makes me sea-sick. I'm not a very good sailor, unless it's a really big boat and I can't feel the motion of the water. These are truly great pictures. Looking at them, I can almost feel the place.
