Tonle Sap River


The Tonle Sap river connects Tonle Sap ("The Great Lake") to the Mekong at Phnom Penh. This massive freshwater lake (the largest in SE Asia) is about 1300 sq km in the dry season and during the rainy season goes up to 13000 sq km. The Tonle Sap river flows upstream (headed north) during the rainy season and reverses at the end of the rainy season, draining the lake.
