What our travellers think of their stay
Tonlé Sap is South East Asia's largest lake and a real lifeblood for local Cambodians. as it provides food for almost the entire population in the surrounding area.
My suggestion
Spend at least a day on the lake visiting the floating villages and immersing yourself in the everyday life of Cambodia.
It is the biggest expanse of fresh water in south-east Asia and Tonle Sap lake's floating villages (as well as those on stilts) are an absolute must see during a trip to Cambodia.
