A half day to visit one of Siem Reap’s authentic floating villages. Located on the north-western tip of the Tonle Sap, Me

Chhrey village allows for an authentic floating village experience. The small village is home to families who unlike other

floating communities still live in wooden house boats. The village moves throughout the year, depending on the water

levels of the lake. At the end of the dry season when the lake’s water levels are at its lowest, the villagers move closer to

shore and live primarily from agricultural activities on land.

By visiting a local home you get a better understanding of life on the lake and your guide would be more than happy to

translate your questions to your hosts. Return to the port and visit the Silk Farm of Artisans d’Angkor, located a 15 minute

drive away. Here people with underprivileged backgrounds are given an opportunity to improve their livelihoods by

reviving the ancient crafts of making art and producing silk. A local representative accompanies you and walks you
