Tonle Sap: What to see nearby?
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.
My suggestion
Visit the floating villages in the afternoon so you can see the sun set over them, or over the surrounding rice paddies.
A huge and beautiful freshwater lake, Tonle Sap is an important source of income and food for the local population, and people cross it to go between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.
My suggestion
Take a boat across to go between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh or Battambang, or at least take an excursion to discover one of the many floating villages built on the lake.
