Subjects : Kompong Pluk is a fishing village near the Tonle Sap Lake, the largest lake in South East Asia. Not far from Siem Reap, the town known as base to visit the magnificent temples of Angkor, Kompong Pluk is an amazing place for reportage photography. The main feature are the houses built on stilts as high as 7 meters, as the lake at the end of the rainy season increase its volume of water up to 10 times, then going up to several meters. The activity in the village is particularly active around sunset. Discourage the central hours, too hot. Subjects: fishing boats, piers, people, crafts, floodplain forest.

Recommended equipment : the classic equipment report, the average wide angle to medium telephoto. You do not need very long focal.

Best months : true sunset. The village is very different depending on the season. Usually you can walk along the only way, but in late November and January we move only by boat. It really depends on how abundant it was the rainy season.

How to get there : from Siem Reap, about 1 hour. First with tuk tuk or car, then by boat that takes us to the village along the canals.

Visits : usually for the entry you pay $ 20. Discounts may be offered if you are traveling in a group, but not always ... Other $ 6 for the boat that brings in the floodplain forest, take 2 people.

Notes : For lovers of the report, I think it is one of the photogenic + Cambodia. Do not miss!
