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.

Tonle Sap excursion
A real discovery of a unique part of Cambodia: floating village built on stilts due to high water levels from the rainy season. The small boat ride was interesting near sunset, going through the mangrove.

After you are Templed Out!
Great half-day tour after you have done the Temples. View a different life in a "floating" village, and get to experience the huge freshwater lake and view the sunset. Chout, our tour guide, was most knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour would be better in the wet season when the water levels are higher but it is still fascinating in the dry.
