fragile eco-system of the Tonle sap lake.
Remarks: The transfer from Siem Reap to Battambang by our
traditional wooden boat lasts
about 5 to 6 hours from August to March.
During the dry season-from April to July- the transfer lasts
9 hours due to the low level of water of the Ton Le Sap Lake
and the Sangker River. In this sense we do not recommend this
trip during this season. |
