Traditional Floating Village Of Cambodia In 10 Pictures

Last September I traveled to Cambodia and these are pictures I took there.

Population of this particular village is supposedly around 3000 people and beside dwellings built on stilts has also it’s own ‘floating’ school and church. During wet seasons a boat is the only meaning of transport there. Nowadays villages like these became a tourist attractions infamous for scamming foreign visitors by overcharging at the toll gate or tricking them into buying of a bag of rice for kids imposing as an oprhans where rice is subsequently sell back to the vendor.
