Kompong Phluk Drijvende dorp privé halve dagtour

Jack, onze Engels sprekende gids, was geweldig, evenals de chauffeur. Ze kwamen iets eerder dan gepland. Toen bleek dat we in de lobby stonden te wachten, haalden ze ons meteen op en begonnen aan de excursie. Al realiseerde ik me bij het boeken niet dat dit een privétour zou zijn. Ze communiceerden over de $ 22 / per persoon boottocht van tevoren, zodat er geen verrassingen waren. Jack stelde ons ook voor om het kanaal te nemen, dat was $ 11 / boot en fit tot 2 ppl. De hele ervaring was magisch en je kreeg echt een glimp van hoe mensen leven. Jack was ook behulpzaam bij het beantwoorden van allerlei vragen. Zou hem zeker weer gebruiken voor rondleidingen!

Onze gids Captain Jack was geweldig! Hij was super deskundig, grappig en onderhoudend voor de hele 6 uur durende tour. Bus was comfortabel en we werden voorzien van eindeloze hoeveelheden koud drinkwater. Onze chauffeur, de heer James Bond was ook erg goed. Zou het ten zeerste aanbevelen

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!
