Your journey begins with a hotel pickup in Siem Reap around 9 AM. Before boarding the cruise, you visit Kampong Phluk, a floating village on Tonle Sap. In the morning, the village is full of life families cooking, children heading to school, and boats moving along the canals. The houses stand high on wooden stilts, creating a unique and beautiful view.

You’ll walk around the village, visit a local school and temple, and stop at a small restaurant for lunch. Afterward, the journey continues by road to Kampong Chhnang, taking about three and a half hours. Along the way, you pass rice fields, small villages, and countryside landscapes that show everyday Cambodian life. There is also a short stop at an ancient bridge in Kampong Thom, a peaceful reminder of Cambodia’s history. By late afternoon, you arrive in Kampong Chhnang and board your river cruise.

Day 2: Kampong Chhnang to Koh Chen

After breakfast, you take a small boat to explore a local pottery village. Here, artisans still make pottery using traditional methods passed down through generations. It’s a great chance to see how local crafts are created by hand.

Next, a tuk-tuk ride brings you through the countryside, where wide rice fields and tall sugar palm trees create beautiful photo opportunities. Back on the cruise, lunch is served as the boat travels toward Kampong Tralach. Later, you enjoy a short ox-cart ride along dusty village paths to visit a rural temple and see more local life.

In the afternoon, the cruise continues to Koh Chen, a small village known for its skilled silversmiths and copper craftsmen. Watching them create detailed handmade products is one of the highlights of the trip. As the day ends, relax on the deck and enjoy the peaceful sunset over the Mekong River.
