My favorite thing we did in Cambodia - This was one of my favorite things we did in Cambodia. It felt like a sneak peak into rural life here and especially life in the fishing villages. You will stop at the floating villages and then also walk through the town (or canoe though depending on the water levels when you visit). We got to visit some of the locals home and see how they live, prepare food, and work. We also stopped in the school where the children were anxious to show off the English they are learning. Lunch at the restaurant was lovely! Thank you Nak and Sokhen for a great experience.

Lovely and interesting visit - On a very hot day we had a lovely cruise on the largest freshwater lake in southeastern Asia. Although a long drive from Siem Reap, the journey was worth it. The floating village was fascinating with every conceivable facility available including Churches and restaurants.

Amazing! - Nak was an amazing tour guide, went above and beyond to cater to our interests and personalise our experience! My favourite was Kamplong Pluk village, the floating village where you can see the culture of the temples and schools. Highly recommend if in Siem Reap.

Unique and enjoyable trip to the floating villages - Our family of 4 had a highly interesting trip to two floating villages guided by Mr Van Lonh. We learnt a lot from his sharing of the villager’s way of life and the eco-system in Tonle Sap. He was teamed by the driver, Mr Vong whose MPV is spacious and clean. We were assured by his safe driving. The highlight for me was to paddle the canoe among tall mangroves in the lake. I highly recommend this trip. 👍

An enjoyable trip - Being a solo traveler any apprehensions about joining a small sightseeing party were soon dispelled by the professionalism of the tour guide and the friendly crowd on the mini bus. The trip to the lake was interesting, before we embarked a lady came up to us and took our individual photos. On the lake whole communities live afloat complete with floating church and school. The crocodile farm was interesting though I declined croc-meat jerky. On our return to the car park the lady who had taken our photos had put the images onto plates to sell back to us. All in all it was an enjoyable day.
