The Terrace of the Elephants is a 300 metre long terrace that has three main platforms and two subsidiary ones. Likewise, the Terrace of Leper King was constructed in the 12th Century.

After breakfast, the morning is free at leisure. In the afternoon, visit one of Siem Reap's authentic floating villages. The small village is home to families who unlike other floating communities still live in wooden houseboats. The village moves throughout the year depending on the water levels of the lake. At the end of the dry season when the lake’s water levels are at their lowest, the villagers move closer to shore and live primarily from agricultural activities on land. By visiting a local home, you will get a better understanding of life on the lake. Return to the port and visit the Silk Farm of Artisans d’Angkor located a 15 minute drive away.
