Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Getting to the sanctuary under your own steam requires you to take a 20-minute
moto
(US$2 or so) or taxi (US$10 one way) ride to the floating village of Chong Kneas (de-
pending on the time of day additional fees may have to be paid at the new port) and then a
boat to the environment office (around US$55 return, one hour each way). From here, a
small boat (US$30 including a guide) will take you into the sanctuary, which is about one
hour beyond.
Sunscreen and head protection are essential, as it can get very hot in the dry season.
The guides are equipped with booklets with the bird names in English, but they speak
little English themselves, hence the advantage of travelling with the Sam Veasna Center or
Osmose (both of which can provide English-speaking guides).
