You will then stop at the stilted houses just before the lake to see how the water levels effect the way people live as well as seeing a floating school.
The boat cruise will allow you to see ordinary Cambodians going about their daily life in the floating village. Fishermen, boat-makers, markets, schools, spirit houses and waving children are always in plentiful supply on this mesmerizing scenic route, and it is not uncommon for the scenery to provoke silence on the Mini Tara, as customers take in the sights and sounds that surround them.

Of the three Biosphere core areas on the Tonle Sap Lake, Prek Toal is the most popular with birdwatchers.
