Itinerary
There is the option to take a break in Skuon, affectionately known as Spiderville Cambodia, the popular place for Cambodian and foreign travelers where it is possible to taste the local delicacy of tarantula fried and other fried insects. We make a short stop to amaze you around this market in Spider Town, you can also try various seasonal local fruits from the region and islands in the Mekong River. However, if you don’t want to taste spider, cricket, scorpion, grasshopper or other insects, this is also a good place to take pictures.
This was an ancient Angkor route and we stop at Kampong Kdei to see one of the ancient Angkor bridges built in the 12th century. Spean Praptos or local resident called Dragon Bridge, it has over 20 arches and is a spectacular sight, reinforcing the impression that the Khmers were like the Romans of Southeast Asia. The bridge is in good condition and looks impressive.
Next, we will travel to the typical Khmer village of Kompong Khleang where you visit to one of the largest and least visited villages on the Great Tonle Sap Lake. You’ll take a wooden boat to the village where you will get a glimpse of daily life in Cambodia, discover an amazing and different way of life in the largest freshwater. You get a fascinating insight into local life by exploring the stilt houses which, during the dry season, are 8m high, but during the rainy season they are only about 1 or 2 meter above water level. Explore the beautiful landscape of the flooded mangrove forest and learn about this incredible natural flood barrier. In the village where animals, pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks and of course humans live, all competing for space in this incredible floating villages. This is a unique experience offering a great outdoor adventure in the countryside of Siem Reap, it is definitely one of the highlights of a Cambodia holiday.

- From January to June, it is a crucial time in all the floating villages of Siem Reap, as the water levels start to drop and offer tourists to experience a new perspective. Although the picturesque landscape of the floating community may lose some of its charm during this time, visitors still have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the daily lives of villagers living during the dry season. The dry season in floating villages may not be the ideal time to take perfect photos, but it provides an opportunity to witness a side of daily village life that is not usually seen. The waterway is very narrow due to the receding waters and becomes a channel that crosses the previously submerged lake bed. Because it is narrow, the boat moves much more slowly.
- Kampong Khleang Floating Village or Kampong Phluk Floating Village that will be visited on this experience. Customers can choose either one according to their preferences.

Mr. Kong, thank you for the perfect ride, safe, smooth, if we wanted to stop somewhere, braking was never a problem, he always very willingly complied with our wishes. Always very friendly, kind, reliable, precise, thank you very much for your services and I highly recommend using the services of this great person and driver.
We’ve had a great day with Kong our driver. We booked our drive last minute and he was at the airport ready to take us from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Well priced and at all times he was accomodating to us all, kept us safe and we shared many laughs along our journey. It felt like we had our own personal tour guide going through the towns on our way up to Siem Reap. We stopped along the way for food as he knows the best places to eat & showed us some other historical places along the way. The knowledge he has for his country has helped us have more of an understanding and appreciation for Cambodia. We appreciate every minute we spent with Kong and cannot thank him enough for looking after us! 11/10 recommend asking for Kong to take you on your next trip.
Had an 8 hour drive with Kong who was very friendly, passionate about his country, knowledgeable and honest. We arrived to Cambodia an hour earlier than expected and kong was already there waiting for us. During the drive I am sure we were those annoying tourists wanting to stop every hour or so to sight see, but Kong was very welcoming and provided us with that unique local insight when he could and was honest when he couldn’t. Kongs English was easy to understand and it was great having him to help translate/teach us some Cambodian during our drive, which came in handy with our future interactions with other Cambodians. 5/5 would recommend and hire again.
Kong met us at the Techo airport ready to go. On the drive to Siem Reap he talked about history of the area, provided water, took us to a great lunch, stopped at historical sites. Driving was excellent and had us at the accommodation on time. Kong also gave me a quick lesson in Khmer so I now know how to greet the local. Very informative and relaxing experience, recommend highly.
We did the transfer from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap with some individuals stops. Mr Sok did some research in advance and proposed to change the time table a day before our transfer, so we had the chance to have a short breakfast at the hotel instead of starting our tour without a coffee. The tour was well organized and Mr Liu was a very secure driver and gave us a lot of interesting background information about the regions we passed. He also proposed a good quick lunch stop at the right moment. We were so happy so we ordered Mr Liu also for the transfer to the airport. It was a real pleasure to explore Cambodia with him and we will certainly book again for our next Cambodia visit.
Great experience well looked after by Mr Sok’s team ..Mr Kong drove us from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh and was a gentleman. Mr Sok and his team looked after us with other tours , they were always pleasant and very informative.
Vichet was an amazing driver and explained everything along the way, we'd definitely do it again and request to have him as our driver!
Much better than the hassle of the airport between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap Air conditioned scenic taxi journey with Sopheap. He was a great driver and stopped us off at several attractions, the boat trip on Tonle Sap Lake a particular highlight 👌
The trip between Phnom Penh was very relaxing. Tony the driver was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English and was a steady safe driver, aware of what was going on around him so no heavy footed breaking, so I even enjoyed a deep sleep for a couple of hours. The icing on the cake was the visit to the Tonle Sap Lake and boat ride through the Kampong Pluk / Floating Houses and sampling freshly smoked mok fish. Highly recommend Tony and booking a private taxi to get between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
This is a great way to travel from phnom phen to siem riep. We had a great time and it was very acomodating. Thanks.
