​​​​​​​Kampong Khleang, literally meaning “harbor warehouse”, is a permanent stilted village around 50km southeast of Siem Reap. Kampong Khleang has both stilted and floating houses, as well as many other buildings to sustain this large community of approximately 6,000 people and around 1,800 houses living on stilted houses that stretch into the horizon. The floating houses are moved according to the water levels of the Tonle Sap Lake. During the dry season, the houses are more or less on the lake’s edge. The locals here are so friendly and they love to see visitors, so feel free to ask them to take pictures with you. This beautiful floating village in Siem Reap is also a great place to learn more about Khmer culture and fishing and experience the normal life at the village.
