You will be picked up at between 2:00 pm to 2:20 pm from your hotel in Siem Reap and visit SATCHA is the first Cambodian handicraft center that incubates local artisans, mixing traditional knowledge with contemporary design to showcase Cambodian’ talents to local and international visitors and to transmit these know-how over time while having a sustainable social, economic, and environmental impact, and then we'll go directly to the Kampong Phluk, flooded & fishing village of Tonle Sap lake, located just 21 kilometers from Siem Reap town. Once in the lake port, we'll take a local boat from the ferry to explore the famous floating villages of Kampong Phluk. There, you can see firsthand what everyday life is like for the many families who make their living primarily from fishing. Most families live on the lake shore in brightly colored houses on long poles, so the high-water levels are not a problem during the rainy season. Explore the flooded mangrove forest surrounding the area, which is home to a variety of species, including crab-eating macaques and 3,000 inhabitants.
After that, Spend your evening discovering the best of Siem Reap’s street food. Enjoy of taste authentic dishes like fresh and fried spring rolls, Crispy rice pancake, Khmer jasmine rice noodle with green curry soup, and sweet desserts, savoring the flavor of skewered meat, try a little fried cricket, fried tarantula, fried grasshopper, fried water beetle, fried frog and digest your bounteous banquet with a can of beer. They’re tastier than you expect. Then before transfer you back to your accommodation, we drive you to see the most popular night market in Siem Reap for the local people, and explore food store, fruit stores and mobile clothes stores.
