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.

5.00## ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Journey with Tom! If you are planning a visit to the floating villages in Siem Reap, do yourself a massive favor and **ask for Tom.** Our trip to the village was easily the highlight of our time in Cambodia, and that is almost entirely thanks to Tom’s incredible energy, deep knowledge, and genuine kindness. From the moment he picked us up, he made us feel less like "tourists" and more like honored guests. ### Why Tom is the Best: * **Local Insight:** Tom didn’t just give us facts and dates; he shared stories about the community’s way of life, the history of the lake, and the unique challenges and joys of living on the water. His perspective is authentic and eye-opening. * **Perfect Timing:** He knows the "sweet spots" for the best views and managed to navigate us away from the heavy crowds, making the experience feel intimate and peaceful. * **Personality Plus:** He is incredibly witty, speaks excellent English, and has a laugh that is absolutely infectious. There was never a dull moment. * **Attentive & Caring:** He was constantly checking in to make sure we were comfortable, hydrated, and getting the photos we wanted. ### The Experience The floating village itself is a must-see—a vibrant, resilient community that feels worlds away from the hustle of the city. Seeing the sunset over the water with Tom explaining the seasonal changes of the **Tonlé Sap** was a truly magical moment that we will never forget. > "Tom doesn't just show you the village; he helps you understand the heart of it." > **Don't settle for a standard boat tour—book with Tom!** You’ll leave with amazing photos, a wealth of knowledge, and a new friend in Cambodia. Thank you, Tom, for a world-class experience!
Highly recommended tour!

5.00An excellent tour with our guide Tom who is a local man who speaks great English very clearly. It is great to learn about Kampong Phluk from a local person. The tour itself was great, visiting the town as well as a floating restaurant with a crocodile and snake farm. You can even try the meat from these animals.
