The Tonle Sap is the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia. Its water levels are rising and falling with the seasonal rains and the tributaries even reverse their flow.
Colorful settlements are scattered on the margins of the great lake and it will be my pleasure to take you to my favorite spots. Time of year plays an important role here, some villages become completely dry during the hot season and lower water levels across the whole lake may make trips somewhat challenging.

Banteay Srei is a 10th-century temple in Cambodia, dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located about 37 kilometers northeast of the main Angkor Wat complex, it is famous for its intricate pink sandstone carvings, which depict scenes from Hindu mythology. The name Banteay Srei means “Citadel of Women” or “Citadel of Beauty,” likely referring to the delicate and highly detailed craftsmanship of the temple.
Unlike many other Angkorian temples, which were built by kings, Banteay Srei was commissioned by a Brahmin named Yajnavaraha, who was a counselor to King Rajendravarman II. The temple was used as a place of worship and learning, particularly for Shaivism, a sect of Hinduism devoted to Shiva.
Today, Banteay Srei is one of the most well-preserved and beloved temples in Cambodia, attracting visitors for its unique artistry and historical significance.
