Short on time but eager for an authentic glimpse into Cambodian village life? The "Floating Village of Kampong Phluk on Tonle Sap Lake" tour is a compact yet immersive experience. Journey from Siem Reap through picturesque rice fields before boarding boats to the stilted fishing village of Kampong Phluk. Depending on the season, either drift along the flooded main street or walk among towering stilted homes, witnessing daily routines shaped by dramatic water levels. The highlight is a tranquil rowboat ride through the flooded forest and the chance to see the floating village adapting to life on Southeast Asia’s largest lake. This tour package’s USP is its genuine insight into rural Cambodia, offering travelers a rare opportunity to observe and understand local traditions firsthand.

It is quite a limited trip. A walk through a village that is not really a floating village at all plus a boat trip down the canal then about 300 m into the lake. The lake itself was full of algae and rubbish so it was no surprise to hear that the fish stocks are declining. Despite an entrance fee into the area, we were informed that this was one of the poorer villages, so much so we were all asked to donate to the local school.
This was a beautiful morning away from Siem Reap. Borain our guide was lovely and very attentive. It was beautiful seeing the communities elsewhere in Cambodia. Would recommend!
We were picked up at our hotel, and drove to the lake. Had a nice long motor boat ride on the lake, we also went on a small row boat ride for about 30 minutes, for $10/2 people, and were floating through the houses and trees. I think the small boat ride was very relaxing, you could see crocodiles in the water. There are also a sales people floating on the lake, so be prepared to purchase something too.
