Know before you go

  • The end of March to the end of July is a crucial time in all the floating villages, as the water levels start to recede and present a unique opportunity for tourists to experience a new perspective. Although the picturesque landscape of the floating community may lose some of its charm during this time, visitors have a chance to immerse themselves in the daily life of the villagers living in the dried season. While some boats may become stuck, and smaller canoes are unable to traverse the jungle forest, these challenges add to the thrill of the experience. The dry season in Kompong Phluk village may not be the ideal time to visit for those seeking postcard-perfect photos, but it offers a chance to witness a facet of the village’s daily life that is not typically seen. As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. We recommend visitors to embrace this rare chance to witness a different facet of this incredible destination and truly get a different taste of life in the village.
  • If you follow a special diet or have an allergy to a specific food, Do let our team know! Our food tour has been created with alternative tastings to fit your preferences. We’ll make sure to take that into consideration so you can have an enjoyable and safe experience.
