Vung Vieng village

Me and my family went to Floating Fishing Village called Vung Vieng village by Garden Bay Luxury Cruise. The village is very quiet and clean, surroundings with breathtaking view of rocky islands. We were dropped off by a tender at a big floating lodge, probably built for tourists; Information Center, I think. There were toilets, a map and a cat too. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

They gave us choice between bamboo boat and kayaking to go around the Vung Vieng area. A bamboo boat is a good choice if you don’t want to take any action. Just sit and relax. We chose kayaking. It was fun too. (๑˘︶˘๑)

It started from the main floating lodge. It took about 40mns to come back. On the way, we saw a small floating school for children, fishing houses, fishing boats, and some village dogs too. Doing kayak slowly while looking at these beautiful surroundings was very nice experience.

Waterfall near Koh Andet Island

Koh Andet Island is located on Tatai River surrounding by jungle, about 4km from Tatai Bridge, Koh Kong province. About 1km from the island there’s small and beautiful waterfall which not many people know and have ever been there yet.

If you stay at Koh Andet Eco Resort which located right on the Koh Andet Island, you can do kayaking to the waterfall since the resort offers you a private kayak to go around for free. So it’s not only about waterfall, but also the time to enjoy kayak experience. (*´▽`*)

About 1km away from the resort, turn right at a small channel and keep going for few hundred meters more, you will see bunch of rocks as a dead end.

Leave your kayak there, and walk up about 100meters more, you will see a beautiful waterfall hidden in the middle of the forest. Some of the rocks are very sharp, slippery and shaking so please be careful. ｧｨ(｡･Д･)ゞ

If you don’t want to go to the waterfall, you can enjoy swimming at the channel while waiting. The water is very clear and shallow, so you’d better wear in swimsuit from the resort.

I recommend you should go with tandem kayak (2 people kayak) because it’s going to be very tiring with single kayak. (；￣Д￣) Or you can go by kayak and come back by boat. You can ask the resort staff to prepare a boat when you return.

Kayaking on Tatai River

One of the best activities during my stay at Koh Andet Eco Resort is kayaking and it was free!!! (´∀`艸)♡

There was a tandem kayak (2 people kayak) parking outside our lodge, but since I like paddling alone, I asked them for a single kayak and they didn’t charge any cents. It was good to do kayaking in the morning because it was not so hot.

I stayed there only one night, so I didn’t have much time paddling around. If you stay there longer, you can paddle further, and check nearby resorts called 4 Rivers Floating Lodge and Tatai Riverfront Resort too. Who knows, you might be interested and come back again next time. (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)
