Kampong Phluk

Kampong Phluk, a floating community of around 3,000 villagers, is situated on the floodplain of Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. The village is characterized by stilted homes that rise above the water, providing a unique and practical solution to the seasonal flooding. Visitors can observe the daily life of the residents, who rely heavily on fishing for their livelihood. The serene setting and the intricate network of houses offer a glimpse into a way of life deeply connected to the ebb and flow of the lake.
