Overview

Experience the rural side of Cambodia with this half-day tour of Kompong Phluk Floating Village from Siem Reap! The tour begins with a pick up at your hotel, followed by a scenic drive through small yet beautiful villages as well as some rice paddies. Make a quick stop at Artisans D'Angkor for some souvenirs like silk accessories and stone carvings, then enjoy a serene boat ride through the calm waters of Tonle Sap Lake, where you will see big mangrove trees and herds of cattle feeding on grass. Go into the main area of Kompong Phluk, home to approximately 3000 fishing people, and explore this one-of-a-kind floating village with the help of your local tour guide. Learn how rural fishing villages work and what the people's daily routines are like, as well as discover how they've built the village to adapt to the changing seasons. Once you're done walking around, you'll make your way back to your hotel, free to enjoy the rest of the day any way you want.

Highlights

Important Note: The end of March to the end of June is a crucial time in Kompong Phluk floating villages, as the water levels start to recede and present a unique opportunity for tourists to experience a new perspective. Although the picturesque landscape of the floating community may lose some of its charm during this time, visitors have a chance to immerse themselves in the daily life of the villagers living in the dried season. While some boats may become stuck, and smaller canoes are unable to traverse the jungle forest, these challenges add to the thrill of the experience.
The dry season in Kompong Phluk may not be the ideal time to visit for those seeking postcard-perfect photos, but it offers a chance to witness a facet of the village's daily life that is not typically seen. As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. We encourage travelers to embrace this rare chance to witness a different facet of this incredible destination and truly get a different taste of life in Kompong Phluk.
