Kampong Phluck, Kampong Phluck Cambodia, Kampong Phluck Travel Guide & Tours

Kompong Phluk is a commune and village in Siem Reap Province in northern-central Cambodia. It is a floating village on the Tonle Sap. The name means ‘harbor of the tusks’. This mangrove forest offers a much more authentic ‘floating village experience’ than the one close to the Tonlé Sap ferry harbour. This fascinating village on stilts can be reached by tuk-tuk from Siem Reap. It takes about 1 hour to reach the village, depending on the road conditions and water level. Depending on where you buy your tour, your haggling techniques and your initiative to book a tuk-tuk and boat ride yourself the price varies between US$7-60/person for a round trip.

Beware of scam. When you reach the school in the village, tour guide will give you pack of exercise books and pencils as “a payment to village for visiting them”. The queue of pupils will be longer than number of books you have. Immediately you receive next pack but then you will need to pay $9 for the second pack.
