Life on Water

One of the main landmark at the heart of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is the intersection of four rivers, namely Tonle Sap (Sap River), Tonle Bassac (Bassac River), Tonle Thom (Upper Mekong River) and Tonle Toch (Lower Mekong River). It is also known as Chaktomouk, the Four Face River. Here, you can see families practically living on the water.

The first community I passed by live on boats at the river mouth intersection of Tonle Sap and Tonle Thom.

Further down on the other side of the river, at Lower Mekong River, people live at wooden houses, some on the ground and some on the water.

Typical lifestyle and daily activities of people who live above the water...

Noticed a girl changing in full view of the public. Very skilfully done; using a big piece of hard cloth to shield her body, she undid and wore her clothes, all done within a few seconds...

Houses and more houses...

Over here at one secluded corner of the river, people reside on boats. According to my tour guide, people on boats here are mostly Vietnamese.
