 1 of the faces... by SirRichard
It is an "open air" temple, organised in "terraces" or levels, with many carvings on the walls and "towers" with 4 sides, in each of which there is a huge carved face. Those enigmatic faces are 2-3 meters high and are one of the most wonderful memories I have of Cambodia... Leave a Comment

 The lake's shore by SirRichard
I sailed the lake on my way from Siem Rep to Phnom Penh. On the wayfrom Siem Rep to the shore of the lake (about 20 minutes) you will see local life in the shore.
Once you sail into the lake is so vaste that the brown waters look like an inner sea. The trip to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap takes about 5 hours. Don’t forget the sun lotion! Leave a Comment

 Cambodia's beaches are
underrated by richiecdiscLeave a Comment Directions: Sihanoukville is a short two hour bus ride from Phnom Penh. Buses go from the inner city terminal very frequently and are cheap. It's one of Cambodia's only good roads too so hop aboard and enjoy a rare dust free trip.

 Aspara Dancer by Homanded
Dinner is a wide array of seafood, veggies, rices and Chicken/Beef Satai.
The music is wonderful, the costumes are colorful and the dance stories are creative.
Best booked through your hotel as it will ensure you a table close to stage.
Another plus: If you're wanting to photograph, you can freely walk up to the stage and photograph the girls in their costumes.
At end of show, they even provide a final few minutes where you and members of your party may walk up on stage and have your pictures taken with the dancers.

 Notice by bkoon
Aki Ra's Background
Aki Ra's parents were both killed by the Khmer Rouge for committing very simple crimes when he was only five years old and since then, he was brought up by the Khmer Rouge to work in the Khmer Rouge army. Aki Ra was taught to lay mines, fire guns, rocket launchers and make simple bombs. He had his first gun at the age of ten.
At the age of thirteen his village was overthrown by the Vietnamese and he was given the option of joining them or he would be killed. Aki Ra was then conscripted into the Vietnamese army and went on to fight against the Khmer Rouge.
He stayed with them until 1990 when they eventually pulled their troops out of Cambodia and Aki Ra went on to join the Cambodian Army still fighting the Khmer Rouge who had a very stronghold in Siem Reap the area.
In 1993, the United Nations had peace keeping forces in the province and Aki Ra worked for them, helping them clear the many mines that had been laid over the years by the various fighting forces.
Aki Ra now works solely for the people of Cambodia, going regularly into the rural areas to help clear the remaining mines. Leave a Comment Other Contact: thailandisfreedom@yahoo.com

Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and provides a living for more than 1 million people living on and around the lake. The fisheries of Tonle Sap provide the main source of protein for the Cambodian people. The lake is drained by the Tonle Sap River into the Mekong River near Phnom Penh, but the flow of the Tonle Sap River reverses during the rainy season when the Mekong river is high and water is pushed into the lake flooding it to almost tenfold its size and raising the water level as much as 9 meters. In the rainy season water covers much of the surrounding forests and provides a covering of fresh, fertile silt for rice growing; it is a perfect breeding ground for fish, in fact, creating one of the most productive fisheries in the world. The reversal of the current in Tonle Sap River in November signals the time of the annual water festival when fishermen and rural workers flock to the towns and cities to celebrate the harvest in an almost carnival atmosphere. The boat races in Phnom Penh rowed by skilled, well trained oarsmen are the highlight of the 3 day festival, and people flock from miles around to watch.
If you like bird watching, Tonle Sap Lake is a great place, as thousands of birds flock to the wetlands in June just before the rains begin. The lake is populated with carp, catfish - which grow to an incredible size, herring, and perch, just to name a few of the hundreds of species of freshwater fish found there. There is sadness there too; large fishing companies are starting to monopolize the good fishing grounds making it difficult for the small fishermen to stay independent.
The floating villages (Chong Khneas) close to Siem Reap where Khmers, Vietnamese, and some Muslim floating communities thrive, move as the waters increase and recede during the monsoon and dry seasons. In my opinion these villages are fascinating; I went early in the morning before 8:00 a.m. (a must to avoid the crowds) and paid 15 dollars for a government boat for a three hour sail.
