fried banana with with some uh some seeds on it too very tasty after you eat lots of spices it’s a perfect snack little oily maybe too much oily but at the same time sweet it’s a nice snack but probably you cannot eat this every day you would gain lots of weight anyway we continue our journey guys we are on the way to the floating village which is Village yeah it’s is one of the beautiful places to see here but at the same time it’s very touristic place and we have to get a tickets before we continue our journey seems like they have got a booth here oh free tasting look at this I’m not sure what is this for tasting probably it’s a maybe coconut we have got a bananas in here too some sugar hello hello where I buy ticket here okay how much is the ticket how many people you have just one only me the ticket for the boat like this bring you to see the floting village okay one floting Village so how much how much is it uh $22 $22 one person yeah for take to Village and come back yeah

village I’m expecting that it will be very touristic based on how this place been organized you know there’s a tickets there’s a security lots of snacks in here too and uh yeah so it’s probably well organized touristic thing to do but I want to experience it so we’re going to take a mini motor boat and then go for the journey all right guys after 4 kilm we have made it we already purchased the ticket which was $22 americ I think we’re going to give it to someone and then we go for the right ah this is the place ticket control s sa ticket thank you but I’m not sure if I go only me or there are other people we’re going to check this out but this is basically the end point all the boats are parked up in here scooters cars it’s the last stop and then you hop onto the boat thank you I where I go with you okay my driver okay thank you not driver captain no driver it’s a captain all right guys quite an organized system we have got our ticket we have assigned we have been assigned Captain to we take this bridge and then hop on to his boat I think this is the one we go 1 198 I guess 198 this one okay thank you seems like I am the only one hello s oh very nice I like this boat how many hours is this tour 1 Hour 2 Hour 2 Hour 2 hour and you you I come back here with you okay okay thank you so much he’s he’s unleashing us and then we’re going to continue exploration so approximately 2 hours I’m assuming that in the village which we’re going to arrive it’s very touristic there will be water and snacks and touristic items to purchase so we will we will see how that goes I will show you the ride as well see you in a bit this is truly amazing how they made the whole life they build their homes there they have their work they do fishing I’m probably different type of Industries as well on top about that now tourism helps them I guess to sell things we will see if they have kind of like a market or something I’m sure we will stop at some point I guess to walk around and take pictures but even just taking this ride is amazing every direction you look look at this how they are living in a two floor homes down they put all the things that they might need and then on the top that’s where they leave so technically we are inside the lake right now and I think some of this Forest is actually man-made too but truly fascinating how these homes are built inside the water how do they build the foundation I think that’s the most interesting part building the home from the wood is not that complicated but building a foundation on the water that doesn’t stick and will be very challenging experience but I love how they have every house has their own boats obviously because that’s the only way to transport inside the lake and they have their Hospital police everything is in this area and most of them are fishing I guess look at this lady there she’s trying to park and hello it’s actually a kid not a lady so beautiful I think we are arriving slowly to the center of the lake because it becomes more crowded in here and more and more houses are next to each other so beautiful and fascinating at the same time and I have got my captain captain what’s your name and Quan nice meet you and your name B bakon nice meet you I am davut nice to meet you nice I like your watch I like it it’s nice do you want this I give you can you take it take it it’s for you little

people live here how many people people 1,000 2,000 people no okay okay no problem no English no problem no problem thank you let’s have a look a little bit more closer to these homes so fascinating how they have all these plants Flags their schools I guess are here too truly remarkable really they have their own praying spot I have seen him temple on the way all their life is in the water

huh I I am good how old I am I am good thank you I’m not sure what uh did she ask me but I think it was in English so so is more formal way to say hi like to your age and elderly people and then soy is basically uh the basic way to say hi to everyone it’s so fascinating this is all their life look at this there she’s in a hammock she’s laying down chilling people kids everyone is playing some people are catching a fish hello look at this baby like all her life is a boat like a mini boat of course they have homes after they finish the work they go do some something at homes sleeve rest of course but uh so interesting the kids are limited they cannot swim they cannot go anywhere on their own so always on the small boat that’s an interesting light all right guys let me show you the forest we are taking this mini boat and she’s using her physical power to take us through this beautiful Forest so we are paying $1 us uh to experience this and as the gentleman mentioned this is man-made Forest over 100 years and uh his grandfather actually been involved in this process so their purpose was protect this place from the storms so people can fish still on the other side I believe because probably other side is open Lake and more wind comes from the storm with the storm from this side and as we came from this side people’s lives are on the other side look at this how close you get to the trees oh look at this one you have to be careful like this I’m being silly and she’s looking at me what I’m doing look at this I can help her a little bit push with the tree it’s incredible how these trees are growing in here so relaxing just take a deep breath enjoy the views it’s incredible soy soy hi ah only small small you speak English I can speak English oh very nice so

might be probably the last point and then afterwards you go from the different route back uh to where we have started that’s wonderful I wish I could communicate more with her but uh yeah they are basically working very hard I’m not sure how often they have the chance to take a ride maybe one two maybe three times I’m not sure how much they get paid per day as I paid to the gentleman and I think they pay them per ride right so I really wish I could ask her how much she makes and yeah also uh how often she go for a ride she’s elderly woman and still working doing this uh sorry sorry this is sorry soai sorry this for you thank you so much Aon Aon they have even got the umbrellas in here so in case of emergency if it rains then they can cover you up too slowly we are coming to the end of the trip and I really want to leave some tip I have 50 American dollars in here and before we get to the crowded area I really want to pay her so it will be more easy for me to give it to her than surrounded by lots of lots of people uh Madame Madame this this is for you $50 it’s for you take it please thank you aun thank you so much she’s very happy and we hit the the tree because she lost the control after giving her the money she’s very grateful for sure and I’m not sure how long would that take for her to make that money thank you so much Akon a Aon thank you she put it in there locked

is for the fish um either they are catching it or they don’t allow uh other animals to come in I’m not sure what’s the real purpose of it but yeah it’s not easy to navigate around in here like has to

Floating villages in Cambodia offer a unique glimpse into a way of life that has adapted harmoniously to the country's diverse water systems. Located predominantly around the Tonle Sap Lake, these villages are home to communities that live on stilted houses or floating structures, navigating the challenges and opportunities that come with a semi-aquatic lifestyle.
One of the most iconic floating villages is Kompong Phluk, where houses are built on tall stilts that rise and fall with the fluctuating water levels of the lake. During the rainy season, the water can rise dramatically, and the villages seem to float effortlessly on the surface. In contrast, during the dry season, the homes are often left high and dry, and the local inhabitants adapt by using canoes for transportation.
The culture in these floating villages is rich and vibrant, and life revolves around the water. Fishing is a principal source of livelihood, and local markets often boast a variety of fresh fish and other aquatic products. Visitors to these villages can immerse themselves in this unique way of life, partaking in activities like fishing, learning traditional crafts, or enjoying local cuisine.
Those who call the floating villages home can not attend public schools, own property, get a factory job, attain a driver's license or open a bank account. Surviving primarily on subsistence fishing the average household annual income of a Tonle Sap family is $500USD.
Moreover, the floating villages are a testament to the resilience of the communities that inhabit them. Despite facing challenges such as changing environmental conditions and developments in infrastructure, the people continue to maintain their traditions and way of life. Tourists are often drawn to these locations for their beauty, cultural significance, and the opportunity to witness a lifestyle that is rapidly disappearing in other parts of the world.
Overall, floating villages in Cambodia represent a vibrant intersection of culture, nature, and adaptation, making them a fascinating part of the country's heritage. 🇰🇭❤

I love Brunei Darussalam, did you go there or not yet?? – if you go there, there is also a water village (oldest area of the country) and especially go at the end of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) to go to the Sultan's palace – free food and shake hand with the Sultan and his (man-side) of the family (of course for me was with Sultana, all princesses and her women-side of the family) – approx. 3 hours of wait but very fluid from room to room areas…May be someone will take you in during their "Open-house" all families visiting each other with matching outfits and fabrics (specially made for the entire family)…Also eat the national dish of "Ambuyat" – otherwise, other dishes are similar to Malaysian food.
I love you Davud and your videos are very interesting ❤
