This was a great trip, loved the lotus farm and on to a short ride in the mini bus to the lake. Mr Friday ( our guide) was very knowledgeable and friendly nothing to was a problem. The floating villages were very interesting, and we were transferred to the bigger boat for a good lunch and drinks.
All in all a lovely day!

The lotus as well as the crocodile farm was very interesting to see. The guide, Sam, provided a lot of information about the people living in the floating village and the tonle sap lake. The lunch was tasty and a lot.
Other than that, the tour could have been a little bit longer. It would have been nice to drive to some more parts of the village or at least to see more of the lake.
