This famous floating village is now extremely popular with visitors wanting a break from the temples, and is an easy excursion to arrange yourself. If you want something a bit more peaceful, try venturing to one of the other Tonle Sap villages further afield. Visitor arriving by boat from Phnom Penh or Battambang get a sneak preview, as the floating village is near Phnom Krom, where the boat docks. It is very scenic in the warm light of early morning or late afternoon and can be combined with a view of the sunset from the hilltop temple of Phnom Krom, (p148). The downside is that tours groups tend to take over, and boat and up chugging up and down the channels is convoy. Avoid the crowds by asking your boat driver to take you down some back channels.
