Kampong Nésât Sès Slap (translated as Dead Horse Fishing Village) provides a window into the unique world of floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake. This village, like others on the lake, is home to communities who have adapted their lives to the seasonal rise and fall of the water. Houses are built on stilts or float entirely, allowing residents to live and work on the water.Visitors can observe daily life in a floating village, including floating schools, markets, and even gardens. Fishing is the primary livelihood, and the village offers a glimpse into traditional fishing methods. The community's resourcefulness is evident in their floating gardens, where they cultivate vegetables and other crops.During the wet season (May to October), the lake expands dramatically, flooding the surrounding forests and creating a rich ecosystem for fish. In the dry season (November to April), the lake recedes, and the villagers may move their homes closer to the shoreline. This constant adaptation to the changing environment is a defining characteristic of life on Tonle Sap Lake.
