We pass the Siem Reap central market on our way to the Tonle Sap lake

            We pass the Siem Reap central market in Siem Reap, Cambodia on our way to the Tonle Sap lake, some 40 km away from the city. Although most people travel to Cambodia, notably Siem Reap to explore the mighty Angkor temples, no visit to Cambodia is complete without a visit to the Tonle Sap lake and the floating villages on it. It's a huge expanse, that lake. The Tonlé Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia and is an ecological hot spot that was designated as a UNESCO biosphere in 1997. The Tonle Sap is one of the most unique ecological water wonders in the world and is considered the biggest lake in South East Asia. We will talk more about the Tonle Sap when we get to it, but for now, just enjoy this morning view of the Siem Reap central (wet) market. While trade in fresh produce must be well underway inside, here on the outside, deliveries are still coming in and the several subsidiary stalls around the market are just preparing to set up shop.
