Floating Village Tour
Chout shares a lot of information about the floating village. It really is a sight to see in person. The will of the people who live there is strong. The water was very low so the village was very dry. Sad to see all the boats that are no longer in service since Covid. Thank you for a great afternoon.

Amazing, very friendly
We had an amazing trip with Chout, we learnt so much from him. He showed us how they lived and made sure we always understood. Great day!

Fun tour!
Mr. Chan Noun was such an excellent guide and so much fine. We had a great time for the sunset dinner / drinks on a floating restaurant and would recommend bringing cards or games to pass the time. It might be more fun to come when the water levels are higher so you can take the boat through the floating village but we enjoyed walking around and seeing the village nonetheless!

I loved this tour....
I loved this tour. Friendly knowledgeable guide. It was all very interesting. We were the only 2 people on the trip. Lots of different things to see and just under 4 hours was great for us as we'd had a very busy previous day. Would recommend.

Stilted homes and river culture
A great experience having Tom show us his floating village and teach us about the cultural differences that are unique to the area.

Awesome!
Tom was a great tour guide. He used to live in the village and knows so much and all the people. His English is very good and he is very nice. I am a family of 4 and we were all blown away by this tour!

Tour you can do twice a year
Tom is a super guide. Tour is well organized, and due to the nature of the lake, you can take the tour in dry and in wet season too.

Excellent 2 Day Tour
This is a great tour to get an understanding of the temples, area and history. Your ticket is usually good for three days within a 10 day period so use these two days for a great tour and use your third day to tour independently for temples you would like to visit again and spend more time. Our tour guide Mr Nary was awesome and fun to be with. He had a great sense of humor and an extraordinary background in the history. He was awesome. Our driver, Kosal, was extremely courteous and was always at the right spot at the right time with doors open, A/C on, car cooled and water and facial wipes ready. He was a very safe driver and he was awesome as well. Great experience and recommended.

Floating Village and Mangrove Tour
It was amazing to learn how those who reside in a floating village live during the dry and rainy seasons. And the canoe ride through the mangroves were very cool! As we stopped by the mosque, our guide escorted us through the now dry street of one of the floating villages and it was very heartwarming to have been greeted by children asking “how are you,” what is your name, etc., having learned at a local school in the village. It was nice to see a library and some of the organizations who help support the community.
