Day 2
Morning [Kampong Chhnang] [Kampong Tralach]
09:00 After breakfast, local boats come to the Toum Tiou II and pick passengers up for the visit of floating
village. Almost totally overlooked by tourists because of its remoteness and difficult access, the village is completely self-sufficient. A floating school, factories to make ice for fish preservation, church, pagoda, service stations, pigsty, stores, boat or television repair shops, video club, karaoke bar, police station… everything is on the water. All trades are represented and everybody from children to grandparents goes by the boat through the network of canals that cross this little town.

15:00 Arrival at Kampong Chnang. Visit the village and its environment.
Located some 90 kilometers from Phnom Penh, the town of Kampong Chnang is one of the largest fishing ports on the Tonlé Sap. Fish farming is also widely practiced in the area. The area is famous for its pottery ware,
unchanged in style for centuries, which is produced in sufficient quantities to supply the entire country. And not to be overlooked are the products of the Thnot tree (sugar palm – a real national symbol) that abounds in the area: a mellow tasting, caramel-colored sugar sold in large cakes and palm wine.

19:00 Dinner and overnight on boat.
Day 3
Morning [Kampong Tralach] [Phnom Penh]
09:30 Breakfast during navigation, departure for Kampong Tralach to visit its wonderful Vihara belonging to Wat Kampong Tralach Leu pagoda. To get to it, we cross Kampong Tralach Krom village along a small road perpendicular to the river, crossing some gorgeous stretches of emerald rice paddy as we leave the river behind.
The Vihara dates back to early last century. It was probably built on an older site, as indicated by the latérite
foundations, and is home to some outstanding mural paintings. These, however, are starting to suffer from
weathering. They remain one of the last survivors of cultural destruction that continues unabated due to
widespread indifference.
Standing by itself in the middle of rice fields, it is a modest pagoda that receives very few visitors. Its isolation
may well be its undoing, as was the case for Wat Tani Pagoda in the province of Kampot.
11:30 Passengers re-embark the Toum Tiou II. Lunch on boat on the way to Kôh Chen.
Afternoon [Phnom Penh] [Phnom Penh]
14:00 Arrival to Kôh Chen, small village of which the inhabitants specialize in silver and copper smiting. They make
ornamental items, including delicately engraved tropical fruits, used in traditional ceremonies at the pagoda or
for marriages.
The distant hills of Cambodia’s old capital, Oudong, and its royal stupas can be seen a few kilometers away
from the ferry. At the top of the hill, are the ruins of Anthareu temple.
