Full description

This is a 3-hour experience from Siem Reap, built around Phsa Kraom Market, Lotus Silk Farm and Chong Khneas ferry. It is run by Camboya Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

The Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and it reverses direction twice a year: in the monsoon the Mekong pushes water back up the Tonle Sap river and the lake swells several times over, then drains again from about November. The villages on it live with that. Kampong Phluk's stilt houses stand six to ten metres up on their legs, dry underneath in March and wading depth in October; Kampong Khleang is larger, further out and far less visited; Chong Kneas is closest to Siem Reap and the most touristed. Which village works, and whether the boat can reach the flooded forest at all, depends entirely on the month.

The price covers Private English Speaking Tour Guide, Private Comfortable vehicle, A private a short boat cruise, All entrance tickets for the Sites listed in the above and Bottle of drinking water. It does not cover Tips for the guide, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
