Kompong Chhang covers the land area of
5,521 km2 with some 418,000 inhabitants. It is
considered one of the provinces with fewest tourist
attractions. Kompong Chhnang, as its name suggests is
famous of its unique symbol of claypots (Chhnang in
Khmer) largely produced by the locals and sold
throughout Cambodia.
The province sometimes makes a
day-trip destination to travelers due to short distance
from the capital city. Surrounded by water for most of
the time, the town is home to many floating villages
along the river as well as some tremendously ruined
temples.
Given
that, a boat trip is the most convenient means to snap
all those all.

TONLE SAP |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
In June and November the Tonle Sap
River changes direction. In June, with monsoon rains
swelling the Mekong, excess water is pushed into the
Tonle Sap that then drains back upstream into the lake,
flooding the surrounding low plains. By monsoon's end,
in November, the pressure is relieved and the Tonle Sap
reverses course and returns to the direction of flow
expected of it. |
|
 |
| |
|
|
However, the waters of this, the largest of Southeast
Asian lakes, take several more months before they begin
to recede, and it is not until February that Tonle Sap
Lake begins its return to normal size. The mud banks
created by the flooding are extremely fertile, and local
rice farmers have developed a deepwater rice that is
unique to this area. |
|
|
|
|
|
The months of flooding also encourages
the growth of huge fish stocks and other aquatic life,
that become extremely easy to catch once the waters
begin to reside. Fishing families string nets and bamboo
traps across the lake's mouth and the numerous fish can
almost be plucked from the water. The Tonle Sap Lake's
level drops so fast that it catches out many of its
inhabitants, and it is not unlikely to see fisherman
picking their catch from the trees. |
|
 |
| |
|
|
One particularly interesting lake
dweller is the Elephant Fish, which has developed the
ability to last for several hours out of water, in case
the fast receding waters leave it stranded in the mud.
This fish is an Asian delicacy and can fetch as much as
US$60 in a Singapore restaurant. |
|
| |
|
|
|
By the end of May the lake has returned
to its original size - just in time for the June
monsoons to turn the tide of the waters all over again.
