The local call it Boeng Tonle Sap, it is considered the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia with unique ecosystem and rich biodiversity. Tonle Sap which means the Great Lake in Khmer is considered by Cambodians as source of income and food. The lake stretches 160 kilometers long, and during the rainy season, its water floods the surrounding forests and rice fields.
There are many tourist attractions in Tonle Sap Lake, such as Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary (biosphere of threatened water birds), Chong Khneas floating village, the Khmer village of Kampong Phluk, and Kampong Khleang (the largest fishing community in Tonle Sap and the less visited by tourists compare to Chong Khneas).
