That's a lot of weed!!

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.

It's a food crop. And, underneath is lots of little fishies full of protein.

I don't know if this is natural growth. But when I lived in the north of the country much of this was cut for animal feed, and the easiest way to transport it was to naturally let it flow down the river to the customer to collect.

It's an invasive species that blocks sunlight, makes water stagnant and causes a lot of damage. It has few benefits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichhornia_crassipes

Thought you were talking about Priti Patel there, thanks for adding the link!
