Kompong Phluk Floating Village Private Halbtagestour

We booked an afternoon trip to a floating village about 40 minutes from central Seim Reap. Our guide Praim arrived on time, introduced himself and personally drove us to the village -Kompong Phluk. During the ride Praim candidly answered our questions about recent changes in Seim Reap and how recently the community at Kompong Phluk opened itself to the public. He was knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful in his responses and willing to accommodate several of our requests. We felt prepared for what we encountered at the floating village because of our conversation with Praim. Our car was only allowed so far, at which point we boarded a small motorized boat that took us to the center of Kompong Phluk some 20 minutes away. The stilted homes flanked the boats path and the entire community was on display. At the center of town we walked around because the road had not yet been submerged by the 7 feet of water brought by the rains. We then boarded a smaller boat and were paddled throughout a lagoon before viewing a pen where crocodiles were bread and raised. Our original boat took us out toward the open waters, but it began to rain and the water got very choppy; we leisurely returned to our car. Regardless of the water level throughout Kompong Phluk, visiting is a once in a lifetime experience. This small village will not remain as it is forever. Take advantage of the opportunity to see it as it is, while you can. Thank you Priam for an excellent tour!

Jack was absolutely brilliant and allowed us to have a really informative and enjoyable morning. He was extremely knowledgable and was able to answer all of our questions, whilst coming across as super personable! The floating villages are unmissable and cannot recommend this highly enough!

For people reading this review and to avoid what happened to us , this tour is for when is rainy season , otherwise you will walk through the village and I was expecting to view the village by boat . Also there was no manglares to see as they were dry . So if you don’t mind taking a tour that will not meet your expectations just go in dry season as it is interesting to see the village and also the boat ride in the lake. The tour guide was very nice and accommodating as it was not his fault BUT if I had read somewhere what to expect in dry season I would had not book it Totally recommended in rainy season (I think ????‍♀️)
