Cambodia: Getting ready to return to their village up the Tonle Sap River river after visiting the market at Kompong Chhnang

Kompong Chhnang (Port of Pottery) is an important river port on the Tonle Sap River, 60km (38 miles) north of Udong.

The economy of the area is dominated by rice production and many locals live on floating fishing villages during the high-water monsoon season.

Archaeological remains found in Kompong Chhnang province have been linked to the (pre-Khmer) Dvaravati kingdom, dating from the 6th to the 13th century CE.
