Peam Aek is a commune along the Sangkae River in Battambang, where life revolves around the water. The riverbanks are dotted with stilted houses and floating fishing villages, and the air smells of fish and wet wood. Visitors can take a boat trip to see the daily catch, watch fishermen mend nets, and enjoy the tranquil river scenery. It's a window into Cambodia's riverine culture, far from the crowds of Angkor.
