Tan Chau, Vietnam to Phnom Penh, Cambodia on the Mekong River



We left this morning and these are houses that are built above the Mekong river next to the banks that families live in.


these are floating homes so when the river rises in the rainy season they rise also




this is the boat that we took this tour on.  That is Mom the fifth one back 
This is a house being set up as a fish farm.  The farm is below the house, a wire net is wrapped around the bamboo and the house is dropped so it would be a river level.  Fish are put in and fed daily.  Six months later they are ready for harvest and the whole cycle starts again .    

This is where the fish are and where they feed them 

This is after food is put in the water
