Another great trip with Bunpheng and his driver, this time to the floating village. Everything was carefully planned by our host to ensure we could fit the trip into our tight schedule, but at no stage did things feel rushed. Bunpheng is an intelligent and charming man, and kept us entertained throughout our trip.
We would certainly recommend this as an interesting insight into a unique local lifestyle.

Ich war der einzige Teilnehmer des Ausfluges nach Mechrey.
Mein Guide war Bunpheng. Er konnte sehr gut erklären und ich lernte einiges über das System des Tonle Sap hinzu.
Sein Englisch war überdies wirklich sehr gut zu verstehen, so dass die Kommunikation problemlos war.
Die Fahrt auf dem Boot durch das "schwimmende Dorf" war beeindruckend. Die Fahrt hinunter in Richtung See war landschaftlich sehr schön.
Kann diese Tour, aber auch meinen Guide, absolut weiterempfehlen!

We were a group of 3 adults + 1 teenage + 3 children. We requested for afternoon tour, and it was nicely arranged with pickup from hotel at 2:00pm. The air-conditioned van was clean and was already stocked with cold bottled water for us. Our tour guide, Mr. Bunpheng Chan, spoke very fluent English. As soon as we got into the van, he started telling us about the background of Cambodia, village we were about to visit, and other interesting true stories. He was very knowledgeable. About half-way to the village, we stopped by a stall to have a look at the fried insects. I tried a cricket, and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. If you're not eating any, it's still fun to watch anyway. We reached the riverside after the 45min car ride. We then got into one of the motorised tourist boat (with roof). Life jackets were available. Then came the fun part. We went along the river, watching how fishermen did their magic, and then the village (floating homes, school, playground, shops). The people there were very friendly. Because our tourist boat was big, we didn't get onboard of the village. Watching and interacting was fun already. The boat ride was about 1 hour long. The fun part of afternoon ride was seeing the kids paddling their way home from school.. some on their own, and some were on "boat school bus". We got back to the riverside, and the tour guide kindly entertained our special request of dropping us off at the city center instead of hotel.
