Itinerary
At Kampong Phluk we hop in a boat and explore, taking in the beautiful waterways and charming houses on stilts. In dry season you'll be able to see the watermarks on the beams showing how high the waters rise, and in wet season you'll see the villagers and fishermen going about their business by boat.
Discover the beauty of Kampong Phluk’s flooded forests by traditional paddle boat. Glide through tall trees rising from the water, creating a calm, magical setting—perfect for nature lovers and anyone eager to experience Cambodia’s stunning scenery up close. This optional activity costs USD 6 / KHR 16,000 per person and is highly recommended. By joining, you’re supporting local village women who paddle the boats and share this enchanting forest with you.

I really enjoyed the boat tour of Tonle Sap Lake, which is as magnificent as the sea. Our guide Thy was knowledgeable and answered questions with a smile throughout, giving us a good understanding of the changing seasons and life on the water at Tonle Sap Lake. He took a lot of family photos and created great memories. The air-conditioned car was comfortable and gave me plenty of well-cooled plastic bottled water. The children seemed to be loved by the locals, and I could see their natural smiles in the fishing village and at school.
