Very turistic, but nice to see how they build their ialands More

Floating islands, anchored, made from, eaten and sheltered by the surrounding reeds. Talk about being green! Definitely worth the trip to learn about these families live, cook, raise their kids and interact with the surrounding main land. More

The islands are interesting but the residents put on a dog-and-pony show for you (singing twinkle twinkle little star for our benefit is a bit too much) and then try to sell you things. Can't be helped, I guess. More

It is amazing to learn how the... More

We learnt how they make the islands and what their life is like. We were able to look and buy some of their crafts and try on some traditional clothing. For S/10 you can ride on a reed boat which was terrific. More
