Floating Village in Kampung Phluk, Cambodia!

Our last day in Cambodia was spent taking a long tuk tuk journey down a very bumpy and unforgiving dirt road that led to Kampong Phluk, a water village on stilts. When you arrive a boatman will take you to his boat and then make the short journey to the village down the river.

I wasn't really sure what to expect before I got there but the way these people have adapted to the area is incredible, their buildings are simply amazing. Most of the men are fishermen and the main source of traveling is by the river, so there are tiny boats everywhere even a lot of abandoned sunken ones.

Halfway through our adventure, the boatman moored up next to a makeshift restaurant made out of two old boats that were combined together. After jumping onto the restaurant we were offered a little tour through the mangrove, which we decided to take. The boat ride was only done by women, the money they earn helps them support their families while their husbands are off fishing to feed their families.

In the middle of the mangrove tour, they also had a little market made up of other women in small boats selling goods. It was a nice little adventure!

After going through the village the driver then takes you to the lake where they offer to stay until the sun sets if you wish to see it, as there was a pretty big storm coming in we decided against it. Even though there was a storm coming in we had a very nice lady come in on her little boat trying to sell us all sorts of goods, she was really friendly and quite funny so we bought two Angkor beers from her and sat and watched the storm come in for a little while before heading back home!

This was a nice little adventure that took up most of the day and I'm glad we took it, as it was a great way to end our trip in Cambodia.
