What our travelers think about their stay
Kompong Phluk is a floating village located one hour from Siem Reap. It can be visited by boat during the rainy season and on foot during the dry season.
My suggestion
Tour the village, then stop for lunch at one of the floating restaurants on Tonlé Sap Lake.
Kompong Phluk is one of the villages located on Tonlé Sap lake. In contrast to its more popular neighbour, Chong Kneas, it is not actually a floating village but instead consists of stilt houses.
My suggestion
The village is beginning to be affected by the same success its neighbour (Chong Kneas) has experienced, so head on to the next village if you are looking for traditional authenticity; Kampong Khleang should also prove less expensive.
