Photographer's Note
The boats on the Tonlé Sap and Mekong rivers never cease to amaze me. They navigate up and down the rivers loaded well beyond where their load lines say they should be, but there are few incidents of overturning or sinking reported.

Hi Mark, This is very interesting to see how close to the maximum load this boat can carry. I've seen similar in China and Vietnam, but this is certainly the lowest in the water ever seen. I guess they try to maximise the use of fuel etc? TFS. Murray.

a hair-raising scene here, Mark! being one coming from the third world, i believe the main reason for this is that nobody from the higher echelons care. there was an incident not too long ago about an overloaded ship that capsized in shark-infested waters in my philippines, and this case as we speak has died slowly todate, like the waves heading back to the sea (and then to oblivion)...:-(
a sad reality!
this capture is so well defined. the loadlines are not visible anymore!
cheers,
Benedict
