Chong Khneas floating village is a regional melting pot, a home to Vietnamese, Cambodian Cham (Muslim Cambodian) and Khmer river fishermen. Most poverty stricken villagers here don’t have access to clean water, electricity or health care; the head of the families earn their livelihood by catching fishes using traditional fishing methods.
The Muslims Cham is a minority community in Cambodia and Vietnam, many of them died following the prosecution carried out by the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s.
