Once past the mouth of the Tonle Sap, the floating village of Kompong Luong is found 30 kilometers into the lake, on its southwest shore. It's truly a floating village, with a large population of Vietnamese fishermen.
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 boat through the network of canals that cross this little town.

The location can also be reached from the dike that leads out from Krokor market on National Road No. 5. At the end of the dike that disappears into the lake, you can hire a boat taxi for an hour's run through the town. The cost is anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 riels for a boat for no more than 4 to 6 persons because they are not very stable.
