  The lake's shore
by SirRichard
 
 

Tonle Sap is the inmense lake you will see in the maps in the middle of the country. Is in fact the 2nd largest in Asia (after Baikal) and is a main way of transport in the country, when rains make the dusty roads too bumpy.

I sailed the lake on my way from Siem Rep to Phnom Penh. On the wayfrom Siem Rep to the shore of the lake (about 20 minutes) you will see local life in the shore.

Once you sail into the lake is so vaste that the brown waters look like an inner sea. The trip to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap takes about 5 hours. Don’t forget the sun lotion!
