Lovely and welcoming family where you instantly feel part of. Our guide spoke English fluently and she explained the process of our oil production throughly; I feel confident to do it at home now. An unforgettable experience in an relaxing environment by a host who creates with passion!

We really enjoyed the morning with this exceptional family making organic lemon grass oil as well as some optional weaving or massage. The village is not far from the city but far enough away to give a taste of village life. Highly recommended

Wow! One of the best unexpected trips we have been on. The rustic ferry crossing takes you from the heart of the city to the countryside in 10 minutes, to a really smart family home and farm where you can see how the lemongrass is grown and the lengths they have to go to in order to produce the oil. We contacted the host directly in advance to arrange a slightly later, more relaxed start which she was happy to do. But there are more surprises - the family members also acted as guides to an enchanting area with old and new temples only a short distance away, and the hosts daughter also delivere

Son una familia molt amable que fan els olis essencials completament naturals. L'experiència és molt divertida i s'hi està molt a gust. Tenen un munt de gossets super simpàtics i van tenir un munt de detalls amb nosaltres (ens vam endur sucre de canya, aloe vera, oli essencial, spray per a roba...)

こちらの我儘で時間をずらして貰いました。 精油作りはレモングラスを細かく切るところからやらせてもらえます。 凄く楽しかったです。 10mlの精油とハイドロゾルを使ったスプレーがついてきました。 店主さんが作ったお洒落な箱にいれてくれました。 また機会があれば行きたいです!

Absolutely loved it! Sophors is passionate about what she does which makes the activity even more enjoyable. I learnt how to make a little box and got to see the entire process of essential oil making (which I will try at home!). An amazing and fun activity!

L'activité à été incroyable. En plus de la conception d'huile essentielle, on a confectionné un petit panier en feuille de palmier. Notre hôte était vraiment super. Je recommande vivement

Had great fun and conversation with the family :) Besides learning about lemongrass, I also learnt about Cambodia and the people from them. Would strongly recommend!
