Most people live in small house boats and travel from different floating communities selling and trading goods and services. Boats are an essential part of their livelihood because everything is located on the water. There are floating schools, a floating market, and even a floating hospital. There was a great need for the Phat San Dai Orphan/Church Home in this area. One of the goals of the Church Home is to serve throughout the community by floating the Church to different areas.
