Kompong Khleang Floating Village Tour Outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia
After some research, we went with Community First for the private tour of Kompong Khleang, the largest and least visited floating village outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia. Our tour guide is Paren, a knowledgeable and well-spoken local from the Kompong Khleang village. Community First is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) where they reinvest all profits back to the community. As you can see from the video, it is really a great educational experience for the family. My wife and daughter loved interacting with the community kids. As part of the tour, we bought 60 bamboo sticky rice cakes and my wife handmade 30 head bows for the school and community kids.
My name is David and I'm a survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime. It had been over 40 years since I left Cambodia. Despite my traumatic experience and lack of childhood development and learning gaps, I went on to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I'm very fortunate to continue a successful and adventurous engineering career that spans over 25 years. Work and family-related travels have taken me to 27 countries. I met my beautiful wife while on a three-year expatriate work assignment in a small town in Northeastern Brazil. We've been together for over 20 years. To learn more about my story, visit:
Floating village at Kampong Khleang | CAMBODIA 2019
Off the beaten path, take a boat get across the street (instead of using your feet). In the most remote floating village from Siem Reap, you’ll find houses on wooden stilts...rising above the water. Buying a boat ticket contributes money to the community, especially hospitals where women give birth. Children as young as a few years old are found boating alone, in a place where they learn to navigate the water early. In a separate part of the area are floating houses, inhabited by ethnic Vietnamese. People live here because they have no land. Take a boat through the flooded mangrove forest, where the Cambodian way of life is simple. And yet, peaceful. Here, I fell in love with the country. And I learned that when people have no money, they find other ways of being happy.

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.

Kompong Khleang - A floating village on Tonle Sap Lake in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Kampong Kleang is one of the largest but least-visited villages on the Tonle Sap Lake, Kompong Khleang, about 55km from Siem Reap. It’s population of 10,000 all make a living from the fishing industry. We explore the canals (wet season) or streets (dry season) of this incredible town. In the wet season, the houses appear to be floating, as water laps at the verandas, but in the dry season towering stilts are revealed, the houses almost like wooden skyscrapers. You can hire a boat and cruise into the open water of the great lake to see a small floating village and learn some more about this incredible natural flood barrier.
Kampong Khleang Stilt Village Tour Highlight
Kampong Khleang is a popular destination of Tonle Sap lake.
We join the excursion with Baffalo Trails Cambodia tour agency. With their programs given us great experience. We haven't got food pictures in the video but we had awesome experience with food cooked in the community. First we took a boat driven us around the community a long the way to see the sunset in the Tonle Sap lake.
After that we stopped by a pagoda and walked to the house. The last thing we did was having a great dinner. We just want to share this authentic experience there. Question us by leaving the comments. You can visit our travel blog for more destinations. smileofcambodia.com

Kompong Khleang, The Floating Village
Shot at The Beautiful Kompong Khleang Floating Village, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The village is located on the northern lake-edge about 55 km east of Siem Reap town, more remote and with less tourists than Kampong Pluk. Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising up to 10 meters in the air. In wet season the waters rise up to one or two meters of the buildings. Like Kompong Pluk, Kompong Khleang is a permanent community within the flood plain of the Lake, with an economy based in fishing and surrounded by flooded forest. But Kompong Khleang is significantly larger with nearly 10 times the population of Kompong Pluk, making it the largest community on the Lake.
