While we were in Siem Reap we went for a boat trip on Tong Le Sap, the lake. It was meant to be a chance to see how the local people lived, but I would really not recommend it to anyone. The lake was brown with pieces of green slime and the people were living in abject poverty. When we left, the kids ran alongside our van and cried when we left them behind. It would have been OK if we'd been going to see a charity project or something you could donate to, but as it was it was just depressing.
The kids were having a good time paddling about in big aluminium bowls though.
