Cambodia To-do:


[edit] rename

I think this article needs to be renamed to Tonlé Sap, as Tonlé already means lake (or a very large, wide river). It's kind of a redundant title. --Dara 00:14, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

I think there's a problem, in that the Khmer and English terms aren't quite equivalent. In Khmer, as far as I can tell, there is one name- Tonle Sap- which refers to the lake and river together, while in English we differentiate them. However since the article actually discusses both, renaming seems a good idea. Mark1 02:51, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Seems sensible, I'd support the renaming too. Coyote-37 09:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
As soon as I saw this, I was hit by the redundancy. Needs to be changed right away. Unschool 04:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

A few minor edits only. The images on this page are great but it needs a little more text to flesh it out. Perhaps we could get some ideas from Lake Burley Griffin Paxse 14:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Strange

Why is there a Thai name for a lake wholly in Cambodian territory? And why is the name just a Thai pronunciation of Tonle Sap Khmer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.27.231 (talk) 20:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
