Our boatmen took us to visit this Fish & Crocodile Farm with a small shop and the Tonle Sap Restaurant. There is an exhibition to show the various methods used by the fishermen in the area to catch the fishes.

There were so many tourists from all over the world visiting the floating village. There are spots in the three-storey building where you can take photos or view the area crowded by all sorts of boats and ferries.

Chong Khneas - floating village in Tonle Sap Lake, Siem Reap

CHONG KHNEAS - Floating Village






















































Chong Khneas is the floating village at the edge of the lake closest and most accessible to Siem Reap. The boatman pointed out the differing Khmer and Vietnamese floating households and the floating markets, clinics, schools and other boatloads of tourists.

Chong Khneas, while interesting, is overtouristed and is not as picturesque and 'unspoiled' as floating villages further from Siep Reap.

Our trip stopped over the touristy floating fish and crocodile exhibition with a souvenoir and snack shop and the Gecko Environment Centre, which offers displays and information introducing the ecology and biodiversity of the lake area.
