Subjects : Kompong Khleang is a fishing village near Tonle Sap Lake, the largest lake in South East Asia. Located fifty km from Siem Reap, Kompong Khleang is an interesting place for reportage and landscape photography. The main feature are the houses built on stilts up to ten meters high, in fact the lake at the end of the rainy season increases its volume of water up to 10 times its capacity, thus rising several meters, but there can also be periods of drought. In addition to street and portrait photography, fishing boats, stilt houses, floodplain forest and birdlife can be used as subjects.

Recommended equipment : The classic reportage equipment, from medium to wide angle to tele. Particularly long focal lengths are needed if you are passionate about birdlife.

Best months : Depending on how abundant the rainy season was, the village is very different depending on the season. Personally I was in the first days of August and as you can see from the images the water was not of great abundance but I saw images with a rivulet of the canal that leads to the open lake and others completely dry. I can't give any further advice.

How to get there : From Siem Reap in my case by bus just over 1 hour. Taxis and tuk tuks can also be used.

Visits : Since I did not personally organize the visit but the group leader, I cannot give information on the various expenses made, both for a possible entrance, boat and accommodation. Very interesting is the visit that leads into the alluvial forest up to the beginning of the open lake.

Notes : For lovers of nature, landscape and reportage, I consider it one of the unique places not to be missed.
