This is one of my original photos taken on my first trip to Cambodia in 2005. I was absolutely amazed to see this wonderful temple. A lot has changed for the better since that time and the temples are much better managed and protected.

The Thing that sparked it off.

For us it was when artist Craig Penny and his wife joined us in Siem Reap for 5 days to have a look around with the idea of doing some Painting Holidays based around a longer stay and the famous Angkor Temples of Cambodia. 
When Craig & Andrea arrived it had been raining solidly for 5 - 7 days and the township as it was under 1 metre or more of water. Tourism had stopped. 

We went out touring regardless ... One of our adventures was a short cut down an alley to avoid deep water in the town centre.
As we navigated down the road our driver plunged head first into an unseen hole in the road. The 3 of us sitting in a Tuk Tuk behind him were next. We were saved by the local barber and some of his customers who all jumped to rescue us from the flood waters.
Picture
2012 The year of the flood did not deter us. 
"Bloody marvellous...!" was Craig's comment about the flood affected journey to the lake and the boat ride on to the Stilted Village.  Just getting to the boats was an adventure in itself through the flooded villages and rice paddies.

We still love revisiting The Stilted Village on our tours and sharing the stories with our travellers and guests. It's not always flooded and we all seem to have just as much fun exploring the village area when the water is lower.

Join us for an Art Holiday you will not forget!
