Kampong Khleang: Life Suspended Over the Waters of Tonle Sap

When you think of Cambodia, the temples of Angkor often come to mind. However, a few hours away, a completely different reality awaits those who choose to leave the usual roads. On the banks of the Tonle Sap, the lakeside village of Kampong Khleang reveals a way of life closely linked to water and the seasons. Here, the houses rest on high stilts or float along the lake. The children learn to handle the paddle from an early age, and the days go by simply, between fishing, mutual aid and neighborhood life. Every scene of everyday life is sincere, raw, deeply authentic, a detour that is worth it, far beyond the temples of Siem Reap.
