Tonle Sap is the largest lake in Southeast Asia and is home to a floating village of mostly Khmer people who live in makeshift shacks that float on the lake and are moored to the shores and to each other. Mothers and daughters barely past toddler motor in skiffs to catch up with boats carrying tourists and at breakneck speeds the young girls jump from skiff to boat with a basket of sodas or snacks in the hope of making a dollar. But the lake has its beauty and this floating community holds an undeniable fascination for those who water out to watch the sunsets.
