There are several floating villages Tomle Sap. The village we saw had a section for illegal Vietnamese and another section for Cambodians. Prosperity is not the word that comes to mind. Tourism & fish farming have helped supplement the fishermen's income. There are floating tanks with drinking water provided by different countries including the US. The whole scene changes dramatically during the monsoon season when water depths change by 25 feet and the lake is 7 times as big.
