Visit the floating village of Kampong Phluk and admire the wildlife of the area.
Take a 30-kilometer drive to Tonle Sap Lake, located southeast of Siem Reap. Here embark on a cruise to Kompong Phluk, an isolated Khmer community of three villages built on stilts. The community has about 3,000 residents who farm fish and vegetables on the floating platforms. Admire the floating village with a Buddhist monastery right in the middle.
Let the cruise take you through the flooded forests that surround the village, a unique ecosystem where millions of fish come to spawn each season, attracting a myriad of water birds.
Enjoy the views and keep an eye out for wildlife, especially birds and crab-eating macaques.
