- Kompong Phluk - Explore Kampong Phluk, the captivating Floating Village of Cambodia. Kampong Phluk is an enchanting collection of three villages perched on high stilts within the floodplain of Tonle Sap Lake, located just 16 km southeast of Siem Reap, Cambodia. This hidden treasure provides insight into the distinctive lifestyle of over 3,000 residents who adapt to the lake’s significant seasonal variations. A Village That Evolves with the Seasons: Dry Season (Nov–May): As the water recedes, the impressive 6–8 meter stilt houses stand tall, exposing the wooden supports beneath.
- Tonle Sap Lake - Many villagers relocate onto the lake, establishing floating homes until the rains return. Wet Season (Jun–Oct): As Tonle Sap Lake expands, the water level rises, transforming the village into a genuine floating community. The submerged mangrove forests surrounding the village become a haven for wildlife, including crab-eating macaques and a variety of fish and birds.

The half-day excursion takes you through Cambodia’s picturesque countryside, dotted with palm trees, cows, water buffalos, and farming activities, before arriving at the boat pier in Mechrey village. The boat journey navigates the canal to the less touristy Mechrey floating community on the impressive Tonle Sap, where daily life revolves around fishing and trading activities on rowing boats. You’ll learn how life depends on aquatic resources. On the way back to Siem Reap, a visit to Puok Silk Farm is available at no extra charge.
PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: During the dry season, the water is shallow, but you can still take the boat trip and see everything.
Special Information: The boat ticket is not included in the trip, and you will need to purchase it yourself. Your purchase helps support the poor community in the floating village.
