Kampong Phluk Floating Village, Siem Reap, Cambodia Enjoy Tonle Sap Lake, is a lake with no ends in front of you, and birds flying slowly overhead and surrounding with the interesting village.
During the dry season (February to Jul), the village can be reached by mini bus or motorbike, as the – bumpy - road that is normally flooded dries up.
In the rainy season (August to Jan), a short boat ride from the quay, through the wetland area will take you to Kompong Phluk. It is not a floating village but a village on high stilts as well as some floating houses and in spite of fishing is often the privilege of the Vietnamese minority but inhabitants of Kompong Phluk are almost exclusively of Cambodian origin. The villagers frequently move from house to another house during the rainy season, they live in houses built on stilts and move to small huts near the waterfront during the dry season to do fishing.

An excellent tour, the guide was funny and knowledgable and tailored the tour to suit my interests. I highly recommend asking to walk around the village to see the locals cooking food and meet the children playing.

This tour is definitely one not to miss during the wet season. We went on this tour mid May and it hadn’t quite rained enough for the full impression of life the lake in stilt houses. Nonetheless, the tour gave a good idea of what it might be like when the water is high and the vast open endless views on the lake were absolutely incredible. Samun was accommodating and informative on the tour and gave us options to walk through the village to the boat instead of driving, so we could take it all in.
