About Kampong Phluk Floating Village

A commune of stilted houses up to 10 meters tall on the Tonlé Sap floodplain. In the wet season boats drift between the houses and through the flooded mangrove forest; in the dry season the same houses tower over dusty streets.

Why we love it

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.

Good to Know

How long should I plan for Kampong Phluk Floating Village?

Half a day including the drive and boat — afternoon departures catch the best light, and wet-season months (roughly June–November) are the most dramatic, when boats drift between the stilted houses.
