Cambodia’s Tonle Sap in video
Chel & Sois posted an entry titled Special “Tuk-Tuk” Greetings !!!. In the post, the blogger featured a video clip of a trip on Tonle Sap, South-East Asia’s largest freshwater lake.
To be a little more specific, Tonle Sap is actually a combination of a lake and a river system. This is system is very important to Cambodia because the lake massively floods each year (it swells from a mere 2700 square km to approximately 16000 square km) during the Monsoon (rain season). The flood creates an enormous habitat for countless species of fish to spawn thus providing the Cambodians with a doorstep seafood buffet.
