Built in the traditional style, the Toum Tiou was christened in
2002 on the river at Phnom Penh, the first Cambodian cruise boat
with international standard accommodation. Fully-paneled in wood,
with charm and comfort in mind, we designed it in keeping with the
local style. Modestly sized and with the safety of a steel hull,
its low draught makes it possible for the boat to access the
smallest of villages. With the tasteful decoration of a bygone
era, it has 10 cozy double cabins with private shower, a large
lounge area, a panoramic viewing space to the front, a
half-covered bar-restaurant to the rear and a roof patio. Air
conditioning, hi-fi system and library are provided.

Kompong Luong - Siam Reap
Half day sailing on the Great Lake
of Tonle Sap. Relax in the library or on the deck salon prior to
arrival in Siem Reap. Sail along a small canal, flocked with
crowded floating houses, before reaching Phnom Kroum.
Note:
Due to the low level of the water in the lake from March to July,
the boat may not be able to cross the lake to reach Siem Reap.
During this period, the visit of the floating village of Chnol Tru
will be done, instead of the floating village of Kompong Luong and
the passenger will cross the lake by small speed boats, the timing
remains unchanged. |
