The only floating village really worth seeing near Siem Reap, offering a genuine experience of local life and providing a chance to spend a fantastic day on and around the water.

My suggestion

Combine a boat trip through the floating village and a meal at a floating restaurant on Tonlé Sap Lake with visits to the local area's pagodas.

A pleasant floating village a bit further from Siem Reap, so a bit less touristy than the others.

My suggestion

Day or half day trips are organised from Siem Reap, so it's up to you to choose according to how much time you have.

Cambodia: our articles for your vacation

Kratié: facing the Mekong, where Irrawaddy dolphins swim

Kratié is a provincial town with the quiet charm of the towns along the river. And what a river! The Mekong, the mythical Mekong. Walking along it, admiring the sunset, taking a boat ride, in contemplation... And then, riding a bike, looking for the freshwater dolphin, going across to be an explorer on the island of Koh Trong. Between action and contemplation, you just have to choose.

Tonlé Sap: socially and environmentally responsible tourism

Tonlé Sap is definitely one of the essential places to visit when exploring Cambodia. To really do it properly and get the most out of the experience, you need to meet the people who inhabit this floating world, head out with the fishermen in their dugout canoes, and discover the myriad different species of birds that inhabit the lake environment. And you can do all this safe in the knowledge that your presence here will actually be of benefit to the people of Tonlé Sap.

Kep and Kampot, Cambodia's last colonial towns

The town of Kep was the settlers' seaside resort during the time of French occupation, and Kampot was a famous coastal town. Today, these two cities keep their authentic charm and recall this period in Cambodia's history.

Activities often overlooked in Siem Reap

Don't just visit the temples of Angkor. It's really worth it to spend several days in Siem Reap, to enjoy its many activities and the beauty of its countrysides. Recommended for athletic people, and also for a family trip to Cambodia!
