This morning first head to visit Roluos Market, on arrival you take a stroll around on-the-ground of a beautiful little market selling lots of farmer produce mostly freshness fruits, veggies and much more charming than the displays of industrial products. You can taste some new-made cookies with delicacy or seasonal fruits.
Stop to visit to the pre-Angkorian capital of the Roluos Group. The complex features three temples of different locations: Bakong, Preah Ko “The Sacred Bull” and Lolei temples, the monument structures built from the beginning of finest examples of decorative carving in Khmer art. Bakong was the first temple built largely of sandstone.
Drive further passing along the local village where you can see how rural life is. Upon arrival at the lake inlet, get on a private wooden boat from Kampong Phluk’s pier to visit the floating village on Tonle Sap lake. It is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia, connects to the Mekong river. Tonlé Sap Lake plays as of central importance role for Cambodia's food provision.
