Cambodia's Tonle Sap River has been critical to the development of the ancient civilization of Angkor and is the floating home of "water-borne" Khmer who have celebrated its cyclical phases for generations in an important festival known as the Bon Om Tuk - a water festival that marks the end of the difficult rainy season and celebrates the coming of the fishing season. It coincides with the full moon of the Buddhist calendar month of Kadeuk.
