unbelievable floating village on Tonle sap lake. Great insight into rural way of life on journey from Siam Reap, before catching boat to the village. Houses of all shapes and sizes floating on bamboo or oil drums, including shops and a school, and locally caught crocodiles can be seen at souvenir shop, which has a " happy room " (wc). If in Siam Reap, its a must see.

We went in November so there was still a lot of water. We stopped at the Buddha, it can be quite dirty with lots of children trying to sell you things. All harmless. Take a walk around. Make sure you have sunblock. Can get home. Worth a visit.

This was a fun experience! We arranged for a Tuk Tuk to take us round trip from our hotel to the floating village location. There is a stop where you will first buy a ticket ($20 USD), and then it is a short Tuk Tuk ride to the docks. The boat ride was nice and the driver pointed out local sites. You stop for a rest at a floating restaurant, where you have the option of grabbing some thing to drink or eat. There is also an option to go on a smaller boat ride through the mangrove (for an extra charge— this is not included in the ticket price), but my friend and I decided not to do that. Overall recommend this excursion to see a bit of the countryside. The total trip took about 4 hours door-to-door from Siem Reap.

The tour Kampong Phluk Floating Village was great. Our guide Tear picked us up on time. He also had a lot of knowledge about the region and gave detailed explanation. He was funny, helpful, friendly. Made the trip fun, comfortable. Would recommend this tour with Tear to all. Thanks Tear.

Excellent half day trip including village market tour , fruits veges herbs , meats seafood . Friendly locals . A boat trip to the village , as it was the dry season we walked through this area and travelled again by boat to the lake . I would like to see it it the wet season . Charming children and hard working adults in a community that is seeing positive progress in infrastructure . Not an easy life for the community .

One of the poorest places in Cambodia and if you visit there, take the time to ensure the locals get a chance to sell you something, even if you don’t need it. Fascinating place to visit and the people are friendly. What you need to know is NOT to go there in A Tuk-Tuk or remoque . Only by bus or car !!!! It is very dusty to get there and not pleasant if you’re going to get the dust in your eyes , mouth, nose and ears. You will have to pay $25 per person for a boat trip, or you cannot get in! But it is worthwhile!!

This is a place everyone should visit, not because it’s fun or pretty but because it’s a lesson about how poor, voiceless and helpless people are treated. The lake on which they “float” is dying along with their homes and heritage. Newly built hydroelectric dams upriver are starving the lake of water and the one soon be built just upriver in Laos will kill it. A large population of people who depend upon fishing and rice farming are being displaced with abject disregard for their welfare. Yes, visit. Yes, buy their wares. But please take time away from snapping selfies and look at what is before you and understand how and why it is happening.

Our guide ,Meng, from Angkor Travel Tour, did a great job on this tour. Even though it is the dry season and the village is not in the water at present he made it very interesting in seeing the contrast of the village conditions between wet and dry seasons. The boat trip on the lake was still memorable. Meng was passionate about the life there and had good knowledge about recent history. The tour went very smoothly.

The most important thing to understand the lifestyle of locals is a good guide who can tell how this comune established, the principles of their life. I was very lucky my guide was Tear, the kindest man, btw he warned us not to buy the books and etc for children, or just give the locals money, because it’s a scam there are a lot of sponsors and children there have it all. He advised us make them earn it by buying water or buying small river excursions.There is an option to get small excursion in floating forest on a boat, it’s so chill, the nature is beautiful. One thing I didn’t like about this place was trapped crocodiles and sad that it’s a very common thing in Asia.

Unsure if this trip initially but really pleased I went Round trip go for at least 2 hours to the villages to see local life and wildlife Restaurant boats go to interesting but I would recommend only drinking cans The crocodiles are very popular and you can feed Local rowboats go from the restaurant to farms Take wet wipes or similar
