Boat excursion to Kampong Khleang floating village

Details
This afternoon, drive to Kampong Khleang, one of the largest communities on the great Tonle Sap Lake, located about 35 km east of Siem Reap (roughly a 45-minute drive).
Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season experience a forest of towering stilted houses rising up to 10 meters above the water, known as “bamboo skyscrapers”. In the wet season water levels are much higher and almost reach the buildings, making them seem like they are floating.
Kampong Khleang is a permanent community within the floodplain of the great lake, with an economy based in fishing and surrounded by flooded forest. It has both Cambodian (Khmer) stilted houses on the waterways leading to the lake and floating Vietnamese minority homes on the lake itself, which move throughout the year with constantly changing water levels.
