Kien Svay Resort

18 kilometers away from Phnom Penh, Kien Svay is a distinctly Cambodian leisure resort. Every weekend many Phnom Penh residents get away from it all and relax by the water.

'Water Houses' are available for rental: covered platforms built on stilts sunk into the river. These are accessible only by boat and the platform owners take you there and back as part of the modest fee. Kien Svay is ideal for a leisurely picnic lunch on the river. There are also relaxing boat cruises available at reasonable rates and you can order food and drinks directly from the hut owners or you can go shopping for food and drinks in a small-established market nearby where they sell cooked food. 

Food shopping at Kien Svay can be compared to fast-food in Western countries. You go to different small stores, look for your favorite food, and the sellers will cook the food in just minutes. While mostly you can find chicken and fresh water fish, you can also shop for cooked frogs, lobsters, local-made salad, local fruits and a variety of beverages. It’s very fun going food shopping – Yummmy!!!
