Arrive in Kampong Tralach to visit its wonderful Vihara belonging to the Wat Kampong Tralach Leu
pagoda. To get there, we cross the village of
Kampong Tralach Krom along a small road
perpendicular to the river, crossing some
beautiful stretches of emerald rice paddy as we
leave the river behind. The Vihara dates back
to the beginning of the last century. It was
probably built on an older site, as indicated by
the Latèrite foundations, and is home to some
outstanding wall paintings. These, however,
are starting to suffer from atmospheric agents. They remain one of the last survivors of the cultural
destruction that continues unabated due to widespread indifference. Standing alone in the middle of the rice
fields, it is a modest pagoda that receives very few visitors. Its isolation could also be its undoing, as in the
case of the Wat Tani Pagoda in the province of Kampot..

Located about 90 km from Phnom Penh, the city of Kampong Chnang is one
of the largest fishing ports in Tonlè Sap. Fish farming is also widely practiced
in the area. The area is famous for its pottery, unchanged in style for centuries,
which is produced in sufficient quantities to supply the entire country. And don't
overlook the products of the Thnot tree (sugar palm - a true national symbol) that abounds in the area: a
sweet tasting, caramel-colored sugar sold in large cakes and palm wine.

11:30 Boarding on the Toum Tiou.
