Chong Khneas Floating Village - Tonle Sap - Cambodia by Drone
Chong Khneas is a floating village near Siem Reap Cambodia. This is the fly over drone footage. review coming soon.
The village was originally formed by foreign fishermen who were unable to buy land.
It has now become a tourist trap and unscrupulous tour operators will gouge you for extra money.
guide books will recommend visiting the other floating villages a bit further south for a better experience.
Kampong Phluk and Kampong Khleang are a better choice.
see my review video: to be posted soon.

Chong Khneas Floating Village Information:
It is located about 16 km from the south of Siem Reap town. It is the biggest lake in southeast Asia. The villages are primarily Khmer and have about 3000 inhabitants between them. During the dry season when the lake is low, the buildings in the villages seem to soar atop their 6-meter stilts exposed by the lack of water. At this time of year many of the villagers move out onto the lake and build temporary houses. In the wet season when water level rises, the villagers move back to their permanent houses on the floodplain, the stilts now hidden under the water.
Floating Village is a permanent village opposed to floating, And it's about 25 kilometers east of Chong Khneas. Here is a much better option for you to visit a village on the lake. Kompong Phluk is accessible by boat only. Kompong Phluk is a relatively small village that provides very good insight into the village lifestyle of the Tonle Sap. This village exists almost exclusively on fishing and related activities. Houses are built on stilts up to 10 m high, and the village is surrounded by flooded forest.

Friendly Mother and Child on a boat, Floating Village, Chong Kneas, Siem Reap, Cambodia
Chong Kneas is a large stilted and floating village along the edge of the Tonle Sap where boats from Batdambang and Phnom Penh dock following the voyage across the lake to Siem Reap and the Angkor temples. While Chong Kneas is the most convenient Tonle Sap community to visit from Siem Reap, it is also the most heavily visited by tourists and thus the least 'authentic' of the villages on the lake.
Chong Kneas is home to around 6,000 Khmer, Cham and Vietnamese, who live in either houseboats or wood and bamboo stilted homes. Due to dramatic variations in the lake's water levels over the seasons, the floating homes are moved regularly to new moorings and the living quarters on some of the stilted homes are relocated up successive levels to stay above the high water mark.
Almost all the villagers live by fishing, and all village life happens on the water.
Siem Reap Floating Village - Should You Visit? ????????
This video is about the insane adventure we had experienced while exploring the Khmer life in the Cambodian countryside and floating village around Siem Reap. We roamed around the rural communities in Cambodia which are settled on the shores of Tonle Sap Lake.
Kampong Phluk is a commune and village in Siem Reap Province in northern-central Cambodia. It is a village built on stilts on the Tonle Sap. The community largely depends on fishing for survival
Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia, is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th–15th centuries. Angkor’s vast complex of intricate stone buildings includes preserved Angkor Wat, the main temple, which is pictured on Cambodia’s flag. Giant, mysterious faces are carved into the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom.

Floating Village lifestyle in Siem Reap Cambodia
So you’ve seen Angkor and are now wondering what else to do in Siem Reap. “Go visit the Floating village” is the most common answer you’ll get from fellow visitors, tuk-tuk drivers and travel agents alike. And we agree! Going through an authentic Siem Reap floating village is a real treat for those who have never seen similar things before. However, the quality of your experience will largely depend on which floating village you go to. In this post, we’ll review the three main floating villages around Siem Reap and explain why Kompong Khleang is our favorite.
Chong Kneas
A lot has been written about Chong Kneas already (e.g. here on Travelfish ), so let’s just say that there are only a few reasons for which you would want to go there. Here’s an exclusive list for you:
Getting overcharged delights you
Scams in South East Asia is the topic for your next research essay
You’re craving Korean food.
Chong Kneas features absurdities such as small kids sporting huge water snakes and so-called crocodiles farms which in reality are small ponds where dozens of crocodiles are crammed together. At some point, your boat will probably also stop by a “local shop” where it’ll be “strongly suggested” that you buy $60 rice bags “for the children”…
Last but not least, the locals do not get much from the money you’ll spend as the boat service, which is what you’re paying an entrance fee for ($30/person), is managed by a private company. As most visitors there come from Korea, the aforementioned company kindly built floating “local” restaurants that serve Korean food in case their main customers miss it.
If you want to read further about it, take a look at Trip Advisor’s page about Chong Kneas. At the time we are writing this, there were 101 reviews out of 166 that deemed the experience as “terrible” (one star).
Kompong Phluk
You won’t see any croco farms or children with snakes there, and the boat journey is actually quite scenic and enjoyable. Despite the growing flow of tourists (you’ll understand what we mean when you see the dozens of boats at the dock) , Kompong Phluk has kept a lot of its authenticity and its visit is overall a nice experience.
“Then why don’t you take Triple A customers there?” you may ask. Well, Kompong Phluk is a small village, so the boat ride is consequently quite short. Some find it too short compared to the $20 entry fee per person. Moreover, the boat service is managed by a private company, which means that the locals don’t really see much of the money generated from tourism.
Overall, Kompong Phluk is still a good option if you only have a few hours to spend.
Kompong Khleang
Kompong Khleang is where we take our customers and the place we would recommend to anyone who wants to visit a floating village around Siem Reap.
First off because it is truly authentic.Thanks to its low number of visitors (most travel agencies and tuk-tuk drivers prefer to take their clients to Kompong Phluk and Chong Kneas because they’re closer to Siem Reap), Kompong Khleang feels genuinely untouched and peaceful. When we arrive by the small pier in the late morning, there generally are only a few visitors’ cars or mini-vans already parked, if any.
The second reason we choose to take people there is that it is the most beautiful village out of the three. Consider this: Kompong Khleang is the home of about 1800 families, more or less 6000 people altogether. This means that when you arrive in Kompong Khleang, you will see stilt houses as far as the eye can see. More than a village, Kompong Khleang is a small town with its schools, its 3 pagodas, its clinics and everything such a large community requires to function. For those of you who have never seen such things before, it is a truly mind-boggling experience.
Once your boat navigates away from the stilt houses, you will enter the “actual” floating village: several dozens of wooden houses floating on the river. The village moves along the river according to the seasons, and even sits on Tonlé Sap lake during the dry season. Just amazing.
One of the best things about Kompong Khleang is that the boat service is still owned by the locals, which means that the money we spend on the boat trip gets back to the community. We really hope it remains this way.
Note that going with us is far from being your only option to get to Kompong Khleang. A few other companies will take you there and you can also go by yourself by hiring a tuk-tuk or a car for the afternoon. Just make sure to do it in advance as not every tuk-tuk drivers will be willing to take you.
