Khlong Pak Pra Floating Village

Nong Khai, Thailand

Stay with fishing families in this remote Mekong tributary village where houses float on bamboo platforms and daily life revolves around ancient fishing traditions.

About this place

This genuine floating village moves with the river seasons, literally floating up and down with water levels on massive bamboo platforms. Homestays include participation in traditional net fishing at 4 AM and learning to weave fish traps from bamboo. Book through Nong Khai Cultural Tourism Office (042-421-280) and specify you want the 'authentic fisherman experience' - avoid tour operators who run fake floating experiences nearby.
