What To Expect
Kampong Phluk Floating Village
At Kampong Phluk we hop in a boat and explore, taking in the beautiful waterways and charming houses on stilts. In dry season you'll be able to see the watermarks on the beams showing how high the waters rise, and in wet season you'll see the villagers and fishermen going about their business by boat.
Tonle Sap Lake
Going out on the Tonle Sap itself is a deeply calming experience thanks to the still waters meeting the horizon as far as you can see. We round off the day with a drink (and dinner, if you wish) at a traditional floating restaurant to watch the sun set over the lake.

5.00Tom was a great tour guide. He actually grew up in one of the floating villages on the lake, and operated a boat for a number of years so his local knowledge was immense. We went during the dry season, but it was still great. Definitely a different trip but also worth doing.

5.00I had an amazing experience on the Kampong Phluk floating village tour with Mr. Chout. Visiting the village was one of the most interesting and eye-opening experiences of my time in Cambodia. Mr. Chout was incredibly knowledgeable and explained so much about daily life on the floating village, from how families live and work to how the entire village changes between the dry and rainy seasons. What made the tour special was how he brought the community to life through his stories and explanations, helping us understand the challenges and traditions of the local people. It was fascinating to learn how dramatically the landscape transforms throughout the year and how residents adapt to those changes. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap. If you’re looking to go beyond the temples and gain a deeper understanding of Cambodian culture and local life, this is a must-do experience. Thank you, Mr. Chout, for such an informative, engaging, and memorable afternoon!
Great
