river level

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I think you are going to be out of luck there. the bottom 10m is below sea level, in PP anyway
sometime around 10 years ago you could have jumped across it. River was so low cows were graing the bottom and it was a srtream only a couple of metres wide at that time

I've been living here since 2003 and I don't remember that at all.
In short: bullshit.

This year's level is indeed the lowest in LIVING memory.
And it's a disaster.

I agree with that,,,, BUT IT WAS NOT MY QUOTE. I did not say that.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.

One small difference, we hardly entered the dry season and the rivers are nearly dry, your shot was taken towards the end of the dry season.
I flew in from Taiwan last week and both the Mekong and the Tonle Sap were small streams with loads of islands and huge sandy river banks. Usually there’s much much more water this time of year.
