Day 3- ]: Hunter/gatherers and Cruise on Tonle Sap
Beyond the temples lies a rural landscape which is often little changed since the days of Jayavarman VII. To depart Siem Reap having seen only the temples ruins is to miss contemporary Khmer culture and a living history of rice and fishing subsistence lifestyles. As infrastructure and technology encroach upon the countryside this opportunity will soon be lost forever. By road to the great Tonle Sap Lake is the richest fresh water fishing ground in the world, a national treasure producing an ever-changing landscape. 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. PM: Local Markets and Artisans D'angkor Explore the local markets: Old and Central Market for typical souvenir shopping or Psa Leu for a completely Untouristic experience. Roam narrow lances lined with stalls selling a bewildering array of wonderful exotic edibles, from waterfowl to snakes, spiders and dried bugs. Then continue visit the Artisans D'angkor Centre, one the best work shops in town excellent quality sandstone, wood. After your Angkor tour, you will be taken back to your hotel for refresh either drops off at pub-street end of services
