Tonle Sap Lake (3 of 3) - Cambodia

Houseboat 1  (56k)

No need to own land here
and no property taxes!

Floating House  (48k)

Did they build this house on a floating platform just onshore right before the rainy season?

Boat with House  (52k)

This small house appears to be custom built for this boat.

Fancy Floating House  (44k)

I think these folks have enough money to afford a land house, but they don't want to abandon the family home.

Home, Canoe for transport (40k)

Our guide estimated that one third of people living here were Vietnamese, seeking the simple cashless lifestyle of Tonle Sap.

All-in-one  (52k)

This family has a simple boat.

House on Raft  (68k)

This house seems too heavy to be floating in the water. It's excessively sturdy yet has a flimsy-looking roof.

Farm House?  (36k)

This looks out of place somehow

Dilapidated Houseboat  (44k)

This boat home has seen
better days (I hope)
