Exploring Tonlé Sap Lake in Cambodia

Lake Tonlé Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and can be found in Cambodia. Its name translates to 'Great Lake' and belongs to the Mekong River Delta. Many of the 1.2 million residents of the lake live in floating villages working as fisherman, most of which are of Vietnamese descent. Day trips to Tonlé Sap can be organized from Penom Penh.
