Tonle Sap river is really beautiful, and it looks even more amazing during sunset, as one looks across from Sisowath Quay. However, there is an even more amazing way to enjoy the view, from a river cruise that sails along the river.
There are many companies and boats that offer such services, and it’s really up to an individual to decide on the boat. Some provide food and drinks as well, so that you can have a meal while sailing into the darkness. This can be a romantic experience, so make sure you book your tickets early, especially for the popular ones!

When dusk arrives and darkness sets, the city’s lights flicker on and you get to see downtown Sisowath Quay in its night glory. Interestingly, the other island off the river looks really dark. Evidently, the city is still developing, and skyscrapers continue to be built to chase investment and development.
INSIDER TIP:
At the end of the cruise, make sure to turn on your mobile phone flash light, as the path back to the streets
can be a tricky one, with a walk among planks and makeshift wood coverings! Flats are recommended!
