It&#8217;s a shock! I believe any westerner has a hard time understanding how a child can be alone, in a bowl, in mine in a freshwater ocean. A collision between realities, a &#8220;recoil&#8221; of humility for anyone who knows only the bourgeois dramas of the West. But travel is just that, a search for difference.<\/p>\n<div class=\"awb-gallery-wrapper awb-gallery-wrapper-1 button-span-no\"><div style=\"margin:-5px;--awb-bordersize:0px;--awb-columns-medium:100%;--awb-columns-small:100%;\" class=\"fusion-gallery fusion-gallery-container fusion-grid-3 fusion-columns-total-3 fusion-gallery-layout-grid fusion-gallery-1\"><div style=\"padding:5px;\" class=\"fusion-grid-column fusion-gallery-column fusion-gallery-column-3 hover-type-none\"><div class=\"fusion-gallery-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tonle-sap-lake-crian\u00e7as-1.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[gallery_image_1]\" class=\"fusion-lightbox no-lazyload\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tonle-sap-lake-crian\u00e7as-1.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"805\" alt=\"Tonle sap lake lone boat\" title=\"tonle sap lake crian\u00e7as\" aria-label=\"tonle sap lake crian\u00e7as\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-9166 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tonle-sap-lake-crian\u00e7as-1-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tonle-sap-lake-crian\u00e7as-1-400x268.jpg 400w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tonle-sap-lake-crian\u00e7as-1-600x403.jpg 600w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tonle-sap-lake-crian\u00e7as-1-800x537.jpg 800w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tonle-sap-lake-crian\u00e7as-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 2200px) 100vw, (min-width: 824px) 387px, (min-width: 732px) 580px, (min-width: 640px) 732px, \" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div style=\"padding:5px;\" class=\"fusion-grid-column fusion-gallery-column fusion-gallery-column-3 hover-type-none\"><div class=\"fusion-gallery-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boat.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[gallery_image_1]\" class=\"fusion-lightbox no-lazyload\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boat.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"403\" alt=\"Tonle sap lake lone boat\" title=\"Tonle sap lake lone boat\" aria-label=\"Tonle sap lake lone boat\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-9168 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boat-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boat-400x269.jpg 400w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boat.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 2200px) 100vw, (min-width: 824px) 387px, (min-width: 732px) 580px, (min-width: 640px) 732px, \" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div style=\"padding:5px;\" class=\"fusion-grid-column fusion-gallery-column fusion-gallery-column-3 hover-type-none\"><div class=\"fusion-gallery-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boy.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[gallery_image_1]\" class=\"fusion-lightbox no-lazyload\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boy.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"403\" alt=\"Tonle sap lake lone boy\" title=\"Tonle sap lake lone boy\" aria-label=\"Tonle sap lake lone boy\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-9170 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boy-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boy-400x269.jpg 400w, https:\/\/backpackers-bay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tonle-sap-lake-lone-boy.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 2200px) 100vw, (min-width: 824px) 387px, (min-width: 732px) 580px, (min-width: 640px) 732px, \" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"GLOBAL__gm2-headline-5 section-hero-header-title-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chong_Khneas_a_floating_village_on_Tonle_Sap_Lake\"><\/span><strong>Chong Khneas, a floating village on Tonle Sap Lake<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After gazing at the vastness of Tonle Sap Lake from a farther point of view, our young guides reversed the direction and took us to <strong>Chong Kneas<\/strong>, the floating village where there is everything.

In this case, the tour options range from 30 \u20ac to 150 \u20ac per person.
