In the background are floating houses that move from place to place depending on the water level of the lake. You would find a village here today, gone tomorrow and relocated to another place!

What is interesting is how they manage utility services. In one of these floating villages, I even saw them having temporary power lines on bamboo poles. I assume they relocate the poles too when they move. I am sure they wouldn’t need any water supply pipelines.

Most of these villages depend on fishing for a living, and it probably suits them well to stay on the waters of the expansive lake. There is no need to buy land too!
