    What you'll see and do

    1. Prasat Beng Mealea

      Beng Mealea is about 60km away from Siem Reap. It's takes about an hour and a half to driver there. Because of the location of the temple, it isn't as busy as the other temples at Angkor Wat. This is one of the reasons why we love visiting Beng Mealea, because you're not surrounded by thousands of other tourists. The surrounding thick forest also makes it a unique place to visit. It's generally pretty cool all year round and you can take your time exploring the ruins of Beng Mealea. After exploring the temple, we'll stop for lunch in a local restaurant.

    2. Kampong Phluk Floating Village

      In the afternoon, we'll head to Kampong Phluk Floating Village ( Or Meychrey from March to June). There are around 700 Khmer families living here. In the dry season, the houses sit about 6 to 8 metres above the ground. In the wet season when the Tonle Sap floods, they are just a metre above the water level. You will also explore the flooded forest.

    Knowledgable guide who is good with kids

    we want to to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Bunpheng for arranging a great tour to Siem Reap for us. It is certainly a memorable trip for us.  Bunpheng did great engaging the kids in telling them the many stories behind the ancient temple in Siem Reap including Angkor Wat. Both of them can still remember the stories you shared with them. Many thanks once again and we will certainly refer our friends heading to Siem Reap to your company for tour services.

    Response from the operator: Dear Customers, We are so glad to know that your kids were able to learn stories and history of temples with Bunpheng. Thank you again for having us showing you and your family around Siem Reap-Angkor Wat. Happy New Year Angkor Doors Team

    Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

    How much does Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

    Is Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottles of Cold drinking Water; Cruise ride and entrance fee to Kampong Pluk; Transportation ( AC car or minivan ); and English-Speaking Tour Guide. Not included: Beng Mealea ticket; Food; Drinks; and Accommodation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Beng Mealea & Floating Village - Kampong Phluk Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Siem Reap. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
