Hundreds of bamboo huts have been built over the water and Khmer love to come here on the weekend and sit around gossiping and munching .Kien Svay is a peculiarly Cambodia institution, mixing the universal love of picnicking by the the water with the unique Khmer fondness for lounging about on mats. It works like this: for 5000r an hour, picnickers rent an area on a raised open hut covered with reed mats. Be Sure to agree on the price before
you rest a space.
All sorts of food is sole at Kien Svay, although it is necessary to bargain to ensure a fair price.
