The communities that live around the margins of the lake cope with huge seasonal variations in water levels by building their homes on floating bamboo rafts or 30ft stilts. It is well worth the extra effort to get away from the touristy village of Chong Khneas to the more genuine stilted Villages - Kompong Kleang or Kompong Pluk Fishing Village* (dependent on water levels) - for an understanding of contemporary lake life.

Day 2- ): Early Angkor Wat Sunrise and Exploration
A sunrise tour starts at pre-dawn to witness the breathtaking view of Angkor Wat temple, the best place for photography. Continue to exploration of Angkor Wat [AD 1113], one of the mankind’s architectural gems. Take advantage of the relative cool and tranquility of the morning to explore the central complex and surrounding bas-reliefs. I would recommend visiting this temple in the morning instead because it is more peaceful, Taking either a local breakfast or returning to the hotel for late breakfast. Rural Scenes Banteay srei and Temple of the Forest In the morning, you will have taste other of the Angkor temples. Travel across ancient reservoirs (long since devoid of water), through pretty villages and paddies to Banteay Srei [AD967], some 37km distant. This beautiful pink sandstone temple is well-known for its intricate carvings, of which hardly any space is left untouched and it's in perfect state of preservation. On your way back, visit to the temple of Tomb Raider movie [Ta prohm], one of the most beautiful temples in the area. Ta prohm has been left relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. PM: Angkor Thom-the world's largest city in the 12th Century Enter the ancient city of Angkor Thom at the Victory gate before uniquely walking along the beautiful causeway through the forest to the seldom visited Bayon temple centre of the Angkor Thom. Explore this important temple with its many captivating giant stone faces.
