Kampong Phluk Floating Village
Tonlé Sap Lake4.3$$
This is the floating-village trip we recommend — a real working community, dramatically different by season, and far less scam-prone than Chong Kneas. Go with a reputable operator and late afternoon light.

Kampong Khleang
Tonlé Sap Lake4.4$$
If you have the half-day to spare, the extra distance buys you the most authentic lake experience of all — commerce, schools, and life on stilts, barely staged for visitors.
