6Floating Sunset - Private Tour in Siem Reap Meychrey is one of Tonle Sap's smallest and least visited floating villages. The boat dock is located approxiamtely 30km to the Southwest of Siem Reap, taking between 60-90 minutes to reach, depending on the season. From the boat dock, you will board a motorboat, cruising through the waterways for 30-45 minutes to reach the village itself. Meychrey is made up of approxiamtely 1,200 residents living in 250 floating houses located right beside the border of Battambang Province. This village is unlike any you will see in Vietnam or Thailand, and although the journey can be bumpy and adventurous to get there, we feel that the unique authenticity of experiencing a small community like this is entirely worth it! Our Private Guided Tour allows guests to visit a family home and meet the people who live in this village, using your guide as a translator, you will have the opportunity to learn about the people of Meychrey, their families and the daily life before motoring beyond the village to Tonle Sap Lake. On this tour snacks and drinks are provided with a little extra time on the boat to relax and take in your surroundings. Our Transport Only option offers car/van and motorboat transport, cruising slowly through the village and out to Tonle Sap Lake where you will experience the ocean-like lake which is the largest inland body of water in Southeast Asia.
Step away from the tourist trail and experience life in a true Cambodian village!
