Kampong Phluk is a fascinating commune located in the Prasat Bakong District of Siem Reap Province, Cambodia. Its name, meaning "Harbor of the Tusks," reflects its deep connection to traditional livelihoods and natural surroundings.

This unique community primarily relies on fishing, with shrimp being the main catch. During Cambodia's wet season, when the Tonle Sap Lake expands significantly, fishing becomes the primary occupation. The rising water levels transform the area into a floating village, with houses built on high stilts to adapt to the seasonal flooding.

Kampong Phluk is also home to the iconic flooded mangrove forests, offering a serene and enchanting environment. Visitors often explore this region by boat, enjoying the tranquil waters, towering trees, and glimpses into the everyday life of the villagers. The experience is both culturally enriching and visually stunning, making Kampong Phluk a must-visit destination for those exploring the Siem Reap Province.
