riverdwellers of kompong klaeng

a chance meeting with the former British ambassador to Myanmar led to a trip to a protected village in rural cambodia. The people live primarily on boats in an inlet of the mythical Tonle Sap Lake. Major hydro-power projects are being discussed in southwestern china. If the plans go forward, the dams will dry up the rivers of kompong klaeng, and the culture of the area will forever be changed. if you are interested, i put some more pics of rural cambodia at www.wretch.cc/album/baodaifu
