| We arrived by boat to find Kompong Pluk is a village of over 5000 people all living in houses on stilts. Kompong Pluk, a permanent village on Tonle Sap Lake flood plane as opposed to floating, is about 25 kilometers east of Chong Khneas. Kompong Pluk is accessible by boat only. This village exists almost exclusively on fishing and related activities. Houses are built on stilts up to 10 m high, and the village is surrounded by flooded forest. |
