Full description

This is a 1-day experience in Phnom Penh. It is run by Meet The Province, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Phnom Penh sits where the Mekong, the Tonle Sap and the Bassac meet, and the riverfront promenade along Sisowath Quay is where the city walks in the evening. Koh Dach, the silk island, is a short ferry upstream and still has weavers working handlooms under their houses, selling direct. Oudong, 40 kilometres north-west, was the royal capital for more than 250 years until 1866 and its hilltop stupas hold the ashes of kings. The Central Market's art deco dome opened in 1937 and the Russian Market, properly Psar Toul Tom Poung, is the one for silver, silk and knock-offs.

The price covers 1-night stay in a private guesthouse room, Full hands-on Khmer cooking class with Sophors, Guided visit to local food market, Garden herb foraging and short village walk and Dinner with 3 Khmer dishes you prepare. It does not cover Alcoholic beverages, Soft drinks, Public ferry ticket and Transportation to Meet The Province, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Oh, it was a wonderful decision. I was greeted by kind, smiling people, family, a private, personal day. We went to the market and cooked my now favorite dish, Amok fish. Thank you for the unforgettable experience, the heartwarming time, and the fun.
