The village is known for its traditional way of life, which is based on fishing and agriculture. The people of Kompong Phluk are also known for their hospitality and their willingness to share their culture with visitors. The best time to visit Kompong Phluk Village is during the wet season (June to October), when the water levels rise and the village becomes more accessible. However, the village can be visited year-round. Once you arrive in Kompong Phluk Village, you can explore the village on foot or by boat. You can visit the floating schools, the local markets, and the flooded forests. You can also go fishing or take a boat ride on the lake. Kompong Phluk Village is a unique and fascinating place to visit. It is a glimpse into a traditional way of life that is disappearing. If you are visiting Siem Reap, I highly recommend making a trip to Kompong Phluk Village.

Sun was our guide and Ted was our driver. Ted did a great job of getting us to all our sites safely. Sun had lots of key details to share about the sites that we would have never thought to ask. He also shared interesting information about the plants and animals in the area. They were both very professional and very friendly. My wife and I had a wonderful time and we highly recommend this team to take you on your next tour!
Thank you for the high recommendation! We’re so glad you enjoyed your private tour to Bakong and the sunset at Tonle Sap. Sun and Ted are an excellent team, and they will be delighted to read your kind words about their professionalism. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Cambodia!
