Kampong Phluk is a commune in Prasat Bakong District in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia. The name means “Harbor of the Tusks”. The community largely depends on fishing for survival, primarily shrimp spending Cambodia’s wet season (May-October) fishing.
Many houses and buildings are constructed on stilts ranging from 6 m to 9 m to accommodate the changes in water level between wet and dry seasons.
During the dry season (November-April) as the river thins due to receding water, many turn to farming to supplement their income
A boat trip to the floating village is a pleasant break from temple roving and gives you a chance to see a local fishing village and floating market.
