Floating Village in Phnom Penh

Does anyone know if there is a floating village around Phnom Penh? Are there tours you can take?





Thanks

Not that I know of.





Phnom pehn is really undeveloped, more so than any other asian city I have visited, but in its own way is is beautiful, but the poverty and the begging is wearisome.





Your best bet for a tour is to hire a tuk tuk for the day and get him to take you wherever you want to go. $20/30 is the most to pay





Other than that the only tours on offer seen to be out of Phnom Pehn, ie. to Siam Ream and elsewhere.





It is a very interesting place to visit and a really good experience. Some very good restaurants on Sisowath Quay.

No , There is not a huge moat built around Phnom Penh LOL .





What there is however is the Vietnamese floating village just outside of the city , there are boat tours available , what I would suggest is you do a forum search , because much has been written about the village and tours .





A full day hire for a tuk-tuk is around $15.00 inside of the city , extra to go to the killing fields etc .



Yes there is a great deal of poverty and begging but it is not %26#39;In your face%26#39; , of course , this is to be expected when you visit a poor country . You will find the happy friendly people will tend to offset some of what appears to some as an inconvenience , treat it more as a learning curve and your whole experience will be enhanced .
