More flooding

The floods around Kompong Thom at the moment are very picturesque, turning fields into glassy lakes. Many houses have been cut off, though, and people are having to wade through water to get to their homes.

The poorest people live in the houses with the shortest stilts, so they are living very close to the water surface. These people build their own houses out of local natural resources - wood, bamboo, grass and leaves - and have to regularly replace roofs, walls and floors.
