Live Your Best Lives
Khlong Bang Luu Village is a floating community on the shores of Cambodia's Tonle Sap Lake, home to Cambodians and Vietnamese. Most of the buildings here are stilt houses, adapted to the ebb and flow of the lake's water. The village's accessibility depends on the dry and rainy seasons. During the rainy season, the lake rises, protecting the houses from flooding. During the dry season, the lake recedes, revealing the dirt and providing access to the land.
The rainy season in Kongbang Lufu Village usually starts in May and ends in October. During this period, the lake rises and the village turns into a "swamp forest" with a unique landscape. If you want to enjoy the unique "swamp forest" landscape, then choose to visit during the rainy season.
If you are interested in the original appearance of the floating villages and the lifestyle of the local residents, you can choose to go there between November and April of the following year. At this time, the water level is lower, you can see the stilt houses and villages more clearly, and it is easier to interact with the local residents.
