5-Day Siem Reap Adventure

KOMPONG PHLUK
Kompong Phluk is a small commune in Prasat Bakong district, Siem Reap province, about 16 kilometers Southeast of Siem Reap town. It is made up of three villages: Dey Kraham, Thnot Kambot and Kok Kdol, with a total of 437 families and 2,767 people.
The villagers live within the floodplains of the Tonle Sap Lake, in permanent houses built on high stilts. During the high water season, the villages are submerged. The water comes up to the thresholds and the only way to move around is by boat. In the dry season, from November to May, many villagers migrate out onto the open lake, where they establish temporary floating housing from where they go fishing. During that time, houses on stilts are occupied mostly by elderly people. As the lake starts to rise in June, the entire population
returns to the villages.
The main occupation of villagers in Kompong Phluk is fishing, mostly family scale, and involves 94 percent of all households. Some families are involved in pig farming, raising crocodiles or fish in cages or home gardening during the dry season.
In 2002, fishing families of Kompong Phluk formed a Community Fisheries Organization in order to manage their resources and improve their livelihood. They have been assisted by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Provincial Department of Fisheries. Eco-tourism is part of the community's management plan and is hoped to become one of the important sources of income.
