Kampong Phluk - Eco-Tourism, Floating Villages - Siem ReapHalf Day Trips You will not want to miss a visit to Kampung Phluk When you visit Siem Reap,Angkor because this river village is like nothing you’ve ever seen. Kampong Phluk is practically located at the edge of the Tonle Sap lake, where every year the water level rises and falls depending on the season. During the wet season, the lake ‘overflows’ and floods the area surrounding it. The opposite happens during the dry season. This flooding ritual is why houses on the village are constructed on stilts. The Cambodian villagers adapt to the yearly change by adjusting the height of their houses depending on the water level. The village has all the basic facilities for its residents – a temple, a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed, a monastery, and schools. There is no western hospital, and the people still prefer their traditional medicine for minor illnesses. Only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap.
