The lagoon opens like a slow palm of water, wide and patient, and as the sun slides toward the horizon the colors flare—pink over mudflats, gold on slow channels. You board a low sampan in the Sam Chuon area and the boatman eases you through reed-edged waterways while fishing nets hang like small flags off distant poles.
