Tonle Sap River - a river which changes its direction of flow. Tonle Sap has its origins in the same lake and flows into the Mekong, the largest and most powerful river in Indochina. On reaching the dock and I rented a boat and went to her in a way against the flow towards the lake to the village.
When they reached the village at once, that caught my eye because it is home to the highest posts. It turns out in the rainy season the mighty Mekong River is filled with water so that comes out of its banks, turning over the Tonle Sap reversed, and the river changes its direction of flow, all the floods for many miles, filling the waters of Lake Tonle Sap, the water level rises so that the houses are no longer such high and a low.

The village is relatively large. Houses along the river are mostly on one side of the shore.

Almost all boats are motors. The father teaches his son from childhood to control the boat, fishing - anything that will prove useful to him later in independent living, as the outside of the river there is little chance of finding a decent income, production of bread.

Men engaged in fishing, while women mostly farming and cooking of the "rotten" fish pate, pate is a favorite dish, without which the table does not sit down.

The river is very fertile for fish, especially noticeable in the flood, when the Mekong Tonle Sap fills not only water but also fish.
