#Kampong_Khleang is
located on the northern lake-edge about 55 km east of Siem Reap town, more
remote and less tourist than Kampong Pluk. Visitors to Kampong Khleang during
the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising
up to 10 meters in the air. In wet season the waters rise up to one or two
meters of the buildings. Like Kompong Pluk, Kompong Khleang is a permanent
community within the flood plain of the Lake, with an economy based in fishing
and surrounded by flooded forest. But Kompong Khleang is significantly larger
with nearly 10 times the population of Kompong Pluk, making it the largest
community on the Lake.
