Moat Kla Village In Siem Reap: The Last Floating Village

Siem Reap forms the gateway to Angkor and is the capital of the Siem Reap province in Cambodia

. There are a number of attractions a visitor can opt to see in Siem Reap, the most important one being the Angkor Wat which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Wat temple is the place to go to witness the majestic remains of the Khmer civilization whilst the Angkor National Museum as well as Angkor Thom, the magnificent royal city, are must visit attractions for any history enthusiast to obtain a vivid insight into the lifestyle of the Khmer Kingdom.

The predominantly Vietnamese Moat Kla Village, which is also said to be the last village in the entire province, is extremely unique in nature for it is a floating village that cannot be accessed by land thereby making it a must visit attraction for any tourist visiting Penang.

If interested in visiting the floating village, one will need to set aside an entire day for it for the boat ride alone will take several hours. The ride will cost around $150 and a boat ride can be found in Kompong Khleang or Kompong Phluk. Even though the journey takes time, the ride is extremely scenic thanks to a number of turquoise blue inland waterways and forests filled with lush canopies.

When shopping in the city, the Old Market is the place to go for souvenirs whilst the Central Market is ideal for a variety of colourful and ethnic clothes and jewellery. In addition, the historical ties the city had with the British in combination with Chinese influences have created a fusion that can be seen in its unique architecture.

In terms of accommodation, opt for a Siem Reap hotel centrally located to many of the tourist attractions, especially if leisure is the objective of your stay, for this will make travelling more convenient and less tiring. The Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor is one such hotel which is only 8 kilometres from the International Airport as well as Angkor Wat and is just a quick walk away from the some of the most frequented shopping districts thus making this hotel Siem Reap the place to stay if you wish to combine convenience with leisure and luxury.
