This famous floating village is now extremely popular with visitors wanting a break from the temple, 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 afied. Visitors arriving by boat from Phnom Phen or Battambang get sneak preview, as the floating Village is near Phnom Krom, where the boat ducks. It is very scenic in the warm light of early morning or late afternoon and can be conbinet with a view of sunset from thr hilltop temple of Phnom Krom. The downside is that tour groupstend to take over, and boat end up chugging up and down the channels in convoy. Avoid the crowds by asking your boat driver to take you down some back channels.
