Kompong Phhluk - The Stilted Village
Full Day guided tour
Located some 16km from Siem Reap, the village of Komong Phhluk is an absolute must see. Built in the flood plane of the Tonle Sap the houses here tower on stilts as high as 10 meters.
In wet season the stilts are hidden and water laps at the floor boards. The flooded mangrove forests are an incredible sight and a wonderful place to tour by boat. This is one of our favourite places in Siem Reap.

Make a Difference
Often visitors leave Siem Reap with only a limited perception of what life is really like in Cambodia.
Despite its tourist front Siem Reap is actually one of the poorest provinces in Cambodia. Once you step away from the exterior you can see a whole other side to life. This tour is aimed at providing you with an opportunity to see a little more of Siem Reap. Our tour includes a guided trip through a local market where you can see locals going about their shopping and learn a little about what staples make up the locals diet.
A trip along the river provides an insight into real life and you will learn about how families live together and support each other. We visit a number of organizations working to improve peoples lives. We enjoy lunch at a selected restaurant that provides training in hospitality for locals and visit a local orphanage. We also include a trip to the Artisans Silk Centre and enjoy a tour of their operations which provide employment and business opportunities. |
