Boeung Tonlé Sap, or Tonlé Sap Lake, is the largest freshwater floodplain lake in the world.

Unique to the Tonlé Sap, twice a year the flow of the river that feeds it changes direction.



15km from the town of Siem Reap, floating on the waters of the Boeung Tonlé Sap, is the village of Chong Khneas. A village with its way of life deeply intertwined with the lake, the wildlife and the cycles of rising and falling waters.
