You will be picked up between 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm from your hotel in Siem Reap and then we'll go directly to the Kampong Phluk, flooded and the fishing village of Tonle Sap Lake, located just 21 kilometers from Siem Reap town. Once in the lake port, we'll take a local boat from the ferry to explore the famous floating villages of Kampong Phluk. There, you can see firsthand what everyday life is like for the many families who make their living primarily from fishing. Most families live on the lake shore in brightly colored houses on long poles, so the high water levels are not a problem during the rainy season. Explore the flooded mangrove forest surrounding the area, which is home to a variety of species, including crab-eating macaques, and 3,000 inhabitants. We will then take you to visit a Buddhist monastery built on an artificial island.
