Why Visit:
Kampong Phluk offers an authentic look at a Khmer community living in harmony with Tonle Sap Lake’s seasonal floods. Its stilt houses (6–9 meters high) adapt to water levels, turning the village into a floating community during the wet season. Visitors can explore by boat to see daily life, fishing, schools, temples, and mangrove forests.

Boat tours through stilt villages and mangrove waterways
Observe traditional fishing, farming, and village life
Visit floating restaurants, fish farms, and local markets
Photograph unique stilt houses and vibrant community
Ticket Price:
No entrance fee to the village itself
Boat tour: Prices typically range from $20–$30 per person (exact fee depends on boat operator, group size, and tour length; private boats and group tours are available)
Additional small charges may apply for special trips (e.g., mangrove forest canoe tours)
Visitor Tips:
Book a guided boat tour for better insights and ease of travel

Expect a 40–60 minute road trip from Siem Reap to the village
