Among the temple travel activities, visiting Chong Khneas Floating Village is a priority thing to do. First, you will need to hire a romork (tuk-tuk) or car to drive you out of town towards the river. This costs about $10 for a roundtrip with the driver waiting while you are at the port. This floating village is one of the nearest and most visited but if you would like to discover a quiet one is Kampong Phluk Floating Village<\/a> which is 20km located on Southeast of Siem Reap Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baot Ticket Price in Chong Khneas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the way to the floating village<\/a> itself, you\u2019ll see large paddy fields and stilted houses on both sides of the road. You\u2019ll also pass by Phnom Krom hill which has an ancient temple<\/a> at the top. To discover the village you need to buy a boat ticket<\/a> to visit Chong Khneas floating village, where you are supposed to pay $28 per boat that can carry 1 to 8 pax, a boat rental recently managed by Angkor Enterprise. As soon as you enter the village, you\u2019ll see rows of tourist boats docked closely together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat goes on to Tonle Sap Lake<\/a>, which joins the river in shrinking and expanding dramatically with the seasons, thereby causing villagers to move their floating houses to different points. The next tourist stop is the catfish and alligator farm souvenir shop. Then the boat takes you back to the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Chong Khneas village\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n <\/g>\r\n <\/g>\r\n <\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, there was a school basketball court also, which will make you wonder how that could be possible. But as soon as you see the court, you\u2019ll see the genius behind it. The floating court has rails on all sides, so the ball and the kids will always stay inside no matter what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This farm is probably the \u2018highlight\u2019 of the Chong Khneas visit (other than the village and the lake itself). The fish farm is a catfish farm and visitors have the chance to feed them. When we came, the fish weren\u2019t that excited about the food that we threw in. I suppose they were already full of food thrown in by previous visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a crocodile farm with about ten crocodiles right next to the fish farm. Most of them hide, but you can still see some of them clearly, whether they\u2019re sleeping or yawning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
