Kampong Phluk
4.4/5 · 4,680 guest mentions
Stilted village and flooded forest on the Tonlé Sap — a half-day trip that pairs well with a swim pause afterward.
The place
Kampong Phluk’s stilt houses rise above the floodwaters of the Tonlé Sap, with boat paths through flooded forest when levels are high. It is a half-day outing from town — hire a local boat with a guide, expect heat and glare, and plan a swim pause near the lake corridor on the way home.
