Colourful food in colourful fields

Looking for bright colours is easy in a tropical area. But finding exciting colour contrasts are the real fun.

Along the small inlets and in between the rice fields along Siem Reap river down to Phnom Krom and the Tonle Sap lake, some local restaurateurs build these small huts on stilts in the background. A family or travel party can order food and drinks, and relax in the shadows with a view to this tranquil landscape.

It really is a soothing experience with the hammocks provided.

Or maybe guests can have a small walk pre or post lunch, just to look for colours, shapes, flowers or plants, and birds or other animals.

Alive or not.

The Ponhea Yat stupa at Wat Phnom

Ponhea Yat was the last ruler of the Khmer empire and the first king ruling the kingdom of Kampuchea/Cambodia from Phnom Penh.

The old Khmer capital in Angkor Thom was abanded in 1431 CE. The smaller kingdom needed an easier defendable city, closer to trade routes and waterways. This new Cambodian Kingdom was a Buddhist kingdom and the Hindu god king status disappeared with the Empire.

City of many names
After Ponhea Yat had completed the new royal palace, he gave the new capital the short name Krong Chaktomuk Serei Mongkol, ‘City of the Brahma’s Faces’. It refers to the four rivers that meets and flows in the capital area.

The full name of the kings capital was “Krong Chaktomuk Mongkol Sakal Kampuchea Thipadei Serei Theakreak Bavar Intabat Borei Roat Reach Seima Moha Nokor”. That is translated loosely to “The place of four rivers that gives the happiness and success of Khmer Kingdom, the highest leader as well as impregnable city of the God Indra of the great kingdom”

Several stupas
The main large and lesser smaller stupas contains the remains of the king and members of his royal family. His remains are kept prominently in this stupa behind the main pagoda in Wat Phnom. This is the central, artificial sacred hill on the southwest riverside of Tonlé Sap being the namesake and origin of the capital city.

Tonle Sap Lake & Kampong Phluk Village Half-Day Tour #cambodia #viral_video #viraltiktok #viral #viralvideo #siemreap #angkor_wat_of_cambodia_🇰🇭♥ #angkorwat #tonlesap #kampongphluk #follower

Buenas,

Ayer fui de #SiemReap a #Battambang en #Camboya atravesando el lago #TonleSap en barca.

No es lo más rápido ni lo más barato, pero tienes ocasión de conocer la vida en el lago. Y no digo en la orilla, si no dentro.

La gente que no puede permitirse comprar tierras o casas, se las construye en palafitos en medio del lago y el trayecto va atravesando varias aldeas "flotantes".
Se les conoce así, aunque en realidad estas no flotan, sino que están construidas sobre pilares.

Después de cruzarme con algunas barcas con escolares, llegué a la escuela de donde provenían.

En la descripción de la foto hay más detalles.
