Floating Village – Tonle Sap Lake

Siem Reap

The floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake offer a fascinating glimpse into Cambodia’s unique way of life. Built on wooden stilts or floating platforms, these communities adapt to the lake’s seasonal rise and fall. Families live, work, and fish on the water, with floating schools, markets, and even temples forming part of everyday life.

A visit to the floating village provides more than just scenic views — it’s a cultural experience that reveals resilience, tradition, and the close connection between people and nature. Cruising along the waterways, visitors can see stilt houses, fishing boats, and children playing by the shore, creating an unforgettable journey into Cambodia’s lake culture.
