Krousar Thmey

We're early for the sunset ticket, so Sokry takes us to Krousar Thmey or "New Family" up the road from the ticket office. Krousar Thmey is a french NGO in Cambodia committed to supporting abandoned children and their families. The french colonial house, its shutters wide allowing a cool breeze inside, is a museum describing all things found on Tonle Sap Lake; the seasons, fishing techniques, housing, boat designs, ecology, ancient history and flora and fauna. Lees makes some diagrams describing stilt lake dwellings. We buy a Travel Sketchbook by some french travellers called Les 3 Moustiquaires. We run out of time but know we have to return to have a massage by some blind masseurs.
