This place is called a must see in so many guidebooks. The locals feel the same way. To get there you go to a little port where 'boat captains' vie to ferry you out. You cross a stinking oily shallow lake and arrive in a village built on stilts. It has a motel with a restaurant and gift shop. Didn't buy anything because it was all cheesy. Had a beer and went back--and on the ride back the outboard motor almost fell into the lake! And the people in the village hate to have their photos taken.

Enjoy the fishing boats with brightly painted hulls and colorful sails.
