We take a local boat to the shore passing floating villages of Vietnamese immigrants which were established in the 1980’s, and then reach the shore and continue with mini-buses to a small rural village community just outside Kampong Chhang and go on a walking tour. Our guides will introduce us to rural Cambodian living as we learn how Khmer style potteries are produced and how various products are made from sugar palm trees. Before returning to the boat we explore the local floating villages and wetlands of the region.
