A pair of traditional Cambodian Floating Villages are easily accessible from the Kampong Chhnang Riverside.
Easy to access from Kampong Chhnang Town and far less touristy than those outside of Siem Reap, both Phoum Kandal and Chong Kos are populated mostly by Vietnamese. They make excellent 1-2 hour side-trips with a hired boat from the riverside.
