The market is divided into distinct sections selling gold and silver jewelry, watches, electronics, textiles, fresh produce, flowers, and souvenirs. The central dome is particularly known for currency exchange stalls and gem dealers.

During this period the pools at the base become popular swimming spots for Cambodian families on weekends and public holidays, and the surrounding forest fills with the sound of rushing water.

The fields are particularly photogenic in the early morning when low light creates mirror-like reflections across the flooded pans and white salt mounds punctuate the flat horizon.

This annual flood deposits extraordinary quantities of nutrients supporting over 200 fish species and making the lake responsible for roughly 75 percent of Cambodia's inland fish catch.
