During the rainy season, the level of water at the Tonle Sap goes high and floods the nearby villages. Kompong Phhluk therefore becomes a floating village, and the villagers have to get on boats when they get out of their houses. In March when we visited this lovely place, it's the dry season, so the level of water at the lake and rivers was very low.
When Kompong Phhluk is not blooded, the villagers can walk on the streets, and the kids are able to play outside. We were later told that this place would be more beautiful when the whole village is floating on water. Even though it's dry then, we still think it's worthy to pay a visit there just to see how people can live their lives in a very simple way. Besides, the sunset on the Tonle Sap was beautiful.
