Is Kompong Khleang village worth a visit of all three villages at Tonle Sap Lake during dry season?
*Dry period: Mid of February to April.

The answer is YES because the area of stilt-house village is dry that you’re going to walk within the village to see their real daily life, high stilt-houses arising from the ground and other interesting activities (includes making dry/smoked fish) which are much more interesting than the trip in wet season that you spend all the time sitting in a boat to see the surroundings. However, a boat ride to see a floating village at Great Lake of Tonle Sap is still available but it may cause inconvenience due to the water level at an actual period of the dry season.
