Tourist Boats Park at Kompong Pluk, Siem Reap, Cambodia

These two images photographs on the same location where tourist boats from Kampong Pluk park during the dry season and raining season. The area are flooded cause by the expansion of Tonle Sap Lake during raining season. The road in the middle had been lift up recently several meters to able to use during the flooding period.

However, during the last ten years the water level of the lake and Mekong River had been changed dramatically. Some years, the area didn't flood at all and the lake become very small during the dry season. This possible cause by climate change and hydropower dam projects on the mainstream Mekong.
