Tonle Sap
This has become a popular excursion for visitors wanting a break from the temples and is easy enough to arrange yourself, get a preview as the floating village is near Phnom Krom where the boat docks. It is very scenic in the warm light of early morning or late afternoon.
On the Tonle Sap lake, there are 3 biospheres and an establishment of the bird sanctuary there makes it the most worthwhile and straight forward location to visit. If you are able to visit during the dry season (December to May), the concentration of birds is like something out of a Hitchcock film as water starts to dry up elsewhere.
