Siem Reap Municipality
- Shrimp fishing is conducted with nets and by hand in the Cambodian fishing villages. All members of the family participate in fishing - from the youngest children to the elders.
A photo from Angkor. I visited Ta Prohm three times in the morning to be able to photograph it in best light and without too many people in my photos.
This photo here I had scouted the day before. I had been a little late then and the sun had already rosen too high. So I knew I had to be there earlier the following day.
It was magical to see those walls glow.
- Chong Khneas is a commune in Prasat Bakong District in Siem Reap Province Cambodia. The name means "Harbor of the Tusks". The community largely depends on fishing for survival, primarily shrimp, spending Cambodia's wet season (May-October) fishing.
Many houses and buildings are constructed on stilts ranging from 6 m to 9 m to accommodate the changes in water level between wet and dry seasons.
During the dry season (November-April) as the river thins due to receding water, many turn to farming to supplement their income.
As of 2019, the commune has 911 families with a total population of 3,707. The commune consist of three villages: Tnaot Kambot, Dey Krahom, and Kok Kdol.
