Between industrial heritage and suspended relaxation, Koh Pich's former water tower is embarking on a second life. Vannak and I tested this atypical 'perch' for ourselves: a duplex immersion between the sky and the Mekong, where the raw rigour of metal meets the softness of a sunset.

In search of adventure and eager to experience a different weekend in Phnom Penh, I decided, with my husband, to spend a night in one of the newest and most original accommodations: The Water Tower – Château d’eau, located in lush greenery at the heart of Treellion Park, on the island of Koh Pich.
