/// Photo: A Boat Ride Through The Floating Village of Siem Reap

Somewhere in Cambodia an exotic and thriving village exists floating on stilts full of homes, livestock, schools, salons, shops, restaurants and even pubs.

Kampong Phluk is a commune and village in Siem Reap Province in northern-central Cambodia. It is a village built on stilts on the Tonle Sap. The name means “Harbor of the Tusks”.

We spent the day slowly cruising around the village on a rowboat, which is how I took this photo. It truly is surreal, an entire village “floating” on water with just about everything you need to live. I’m not sure if you can call this simple living but it certainly is living.
