Discover rural Cambodia and explore Kampong Chhnang, a small town located just west of the Tonle Sab River in Kampong Chhnang Province. Known for its picturesque “floating villages”, visitors can view these charming wooden homes perched on wooden stilts as they hover above the tawny water.
Locals go about their day in lively Andong Russey, a traditional Khmer pottery village where vendors offer a wide range of clay products including jars, pots, elephant statues, piggy banks and even clay grills.
A boat tour along the Tonle Sap leads to the market town of Kompong Leaeng, the home of the ancient pre-Angkorian temples.
Easily accessible from Kampong Chhnang is the vibrant capital city of Phnom Penh, a pulsing cultural and commercial hub that boasts a wide variety of activities and attractions.
Must-see sights include the Royal Palace, the National Museum of Cambodia, Silver Pagoda Buddhist temple and the striking Psar Thmei market.
