Angkor Cycling Tours. This lake is one of the most unique ecological water wonders in the world. It is the biggest lake of South East Asia that changes every monsoon and dry season of dimension. With a minimum size of 2.800 km² and about 1 m depth at the end of the monsoon season the lake is fairly small. During the rainy season the water of the Mekong river reverses its flow and pushes back the surplus of rain water into the Tonle Sap lake. This transforms the lake into a big natural water reservoir and the lake increases its dimension until 15.000 km² with a depth 0f 8 m. Vietnam Bike Tours
