Visit Kompong Phluk, a stilted village of 3,000 on the Tonle Sap Lake, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, with a guide who comes from the lake. Depart your hotel at any time of day; we recommend 2:00 PM so the tour ends with sunset on the lake. On the way, stop at a roadside stand for fresh Khmer sticky rice cooked in bamboo, then at a local market to try popular Khmer snacks and desserts, and at a rural Buddhist pagoda no other tourists see. In Kompong Phluk, take a private boat through the village to Siem Reap's largest flooded mangrove forest and paddle through the trees by canoe with a local resident. Continue onto the open Tonle Sap before returning to Siem Reap. Private vehicle, hotel pickup, English-speaking guide, water, snacks and all boat and canoe fees included.
