- From January to June, it is a crucial time in all the floating villages of Siem Reap, as the water levels start to drop and offer tourists to experience a new perspective. Although the picturesque landscape of the floating community may lose some of its charm during this time, visitors still have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the daily lives of villagers living during the dry season. The dry season in floating villages may not be the ideal time to take perfect photos, but it provides an opportunity to witness a side of daily village life that is not usually seen. The waterway is very narrow due to the receding waters and becomes a channel that crosses the previously submerged lake bed. Because it is narrow, the boat moves much more slowly.
- Kampong Khleang Floating Village or Kampong Phluk Floating Village that will be visited on this experience. Customers can choose either one according to their preferences.
