A market, a village, a lake. Rural life

A very good 4 hour tour. We were back at our hotel by the time the heat set in. Good plan! The visit to the local rural market was really great. Clean, fresh and colourful. A lovely stroll past fruit, vegetables, live fish and meat. A trip down the river in a tourist boat to a wonderful inland sea - the largest freshwater lake in southeastern Asia. The cycle of the wet (monsoon) and the dry months and the effect on the lifestyle. Communities constantly moving with the changing climate. And the dramatic effect of climate change on a simple world. The floating village we stopped at was fascinating. Fish being prepared for smoking, a racing canoe for the annual November water festival, the excitement from children when getting books. Simple things showcasing a very different life to ours. Our guide was excellent. Interesting, knowledgeable and friendly. This was his community. A local street protest an our way home highlighted the reality of local life. Certainly worth doing

Enjoyable insight into stilted living

If you are looking for a floating village tour, then this probably isn't the one to book. The 'floating' part is limited to some restaurants aimed at tourists. HOWEVER, we still really enjoyed it, and having been to a real floating village before, I found the stilted homes more interesting. We had worried that we were overpaying, as tuk tuk drivers can take you to these areas much more cheaply, but our guide, Van Lonh was a very cheerful, friendly and informative person to have with us and it was great to arrive at a boat that had already been organised. There are a few efforts by locals to sell you pictures of yourself, or books but as virtually the only visitors at the time we went, we didn't feel mobbed or pressured. The locals,in the main, just got on with their usual day. As we declined the chance to visit one of the floating restaurants and see their caged crocodiles, the tour was just over 4 hours.

Informative and peaceful

Great tour of the waterfall and sleeping Budda with informative guide. I was the only one on the tour, which was not a problem. Guide Chan was able to answer all my questions on a range of topics. Tour covered a variety of parts to visit, which keeps it interesting. Experienced driver was able to navigate road up to the mountain with ease. I found it to be a peaceful activity which can be enjoyed by those of all ages.

Not to be missed.

Our guide Nak was a very enthusiastic & knowledgable guide. Because it was dry season, we visited the floating village on foot, then did a small boat ride onto the Tonle Sap lake. It was just as interesting to visit the village this way & we would have hated not to have had this great experience. We also enjoyed visiting the non-touristy, local markets in Nak's home town. Dry or wet season, this is a memorable place to be seen.

乾季のトンレサップ湖

乾季ということで行くか迷ったが、遺跡巡りとは違う刺激を求めて参加した。日本語のツアーがなかったのでこちらで参加したが、当日は他の申し込みはなかったようで貸切ツアーのようになったが、ガイドのChoubさんの積極的かつ丁寧な説明でとても楽しむことができた。 ペットボトルの水も一本もらうことができたので助かった。 また雨季に来たい場所である。 流れは ホテルでピックアップ→ローカルな市場見学→コンポン・プルック村→ボートに乗ってトンレサップ湖→ホテルに戻る

Great experience

The tour was a nice change to the temples as we got to get out to the countryside. Mr Van Lohn was a great tour guide with great personal stories and showed us the local food and history. Especially liked the pancake and grilled fish were tasty. The Lingas were a bit difficult to see but the reclining Buddha and the waterfall were great. As we were in a rush, they were very flexible and allowed us to change the trip. The restaurant stop food was not the best but lots of good local food at the reclining Buddha. Definetly recommend as putting your feet in the waterfall was so refreshing and chilled.
