Recently, we were fortunate to host Loïc Naessens, a photographer from Belgium, on one of our community based tours of Kompong Khleang floating village. Loïc specializes in nature photography and was kind enough to document and share his experience with Community First: Kompong Khleang Floating Village Tours.
Take a moment to review his photos and get a glimpse of life on the Tonle Sap during November. This is always an interesting time of year on floating village tours, as the water on the lake is at its highest levels.
You can learn more about Loïc’s work on his website. You can also follow him on Facebook & Instagram.
