We stopped on a large boat for toursits that sold trinkets and had other things to see. One of the things they did there was fish farming. |
These were the areas where the fish were kept. |
And these men fed them. |
Men work on their nets. |
Closeup of the men. |
They also had crocodiles in sunken areas of the boat (we were well above them). |
A closeup of a crocodile head. |
I honestly have no idea what purpose keeping a crocodile serves except to entertain tourists. |
This crocodile had his mouth open. |
A closeup of his teeth. |
More crocodiles swimming. I think they had about 10 in there. |
Caged fowl. |

On the road leaving Tonle Sap Lake we stopped in a small village to walk around and look at the homes. |
Homes and home building materials vary greatly. |
A nice looking home. |
A home made of plant fibers. |
Another grass and wood home. |
A grass home set away from the road and built high above the water. We visited in the dry season, so I imagine they need to be built that high. |
