Living on Water: Stilted Villages

After visiting the legendary floating villages on Cambodia’s Tonle Sap, I took a detour to Kompong Phluk, a permanent settlement built upon stilts at the edge of the lake. As I paddled through the brackish water, it was a breathtaking sight to see homes, cooking, fishing, and everyday life soaring above me.
