This famous floating village is now extremely popular with visitors wanting a break from the temple, and is an easy enough excursion for visitor wanting a break from the temple it's simple to arrange yourself visitors arriving by fast boat get a preview,as the floating village is near Phnom Krom,where the boat docks.It is very scenic in the warm light of the early morning or late afternoon and can be combined with a view of the sun from the hilltop temple of Phnom Krom The downside is that tour groups tend to take over,and boats and up chugging up and down the channels in convoy,Part of the floating village. it has displays on flora and fauna of the area,as well as information on communities living around the lake.The village moves depending on the season and you will need to rent a boat to get around it property.a tourist police association has fixed boat price from $12 to $15 per person depending on how many people you have on one boat?to visit the floating village,
Kompong Phhluk:
More memorable than Chong Kneas,but also much harder to reach,is the flooded forest of Koompong Phhluk, alongside an other_worldly village built on stilts.The flooded forest is inundated every year when the lake rises to take the Mekong's overflow,and as the lake drops the petrified trees are revealed.Exploring this area by wooden dugout is very atmospheric.Further inland from the lake is the village of Kompong Phhluk itself, where most of the houses are built on stilts of about 6m to 7m high,looking like it has come straight out of a film set,
Prek Toal:
Prek Toal is one of three biospheres on Tonle Sap lake, and the establishment of its bird sanctuary makes Prek Toal the most worthwhile ane straightforward to visit. it is an ornithologist's fantasy,with a significant number of rare breeds gathered in one small area,including the huge lesser and greeter adjutant storks,the milky stork and the spot_billed pelican,
Visitors during the dry season ( December to May )will fine concentration of birds like something out of a Hitchcock film.As water starts to dry up elsewhere know that the best time to see birds is early morning or late afternoon and this means a very early start or an overnight at Prek Toal's environment office,where there are basic beds for $7,
