Rice Field Sunset Drink and Home-Cooked Dinner in Siem Reap

A 3-hour trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap and Baitang SIEM REAP បៃតង. The price covers 1 local beer or soft drink, Light local snack and Learn about fresh ingredients and family recipes. It does not cover any services or items not listed above, 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. The countryside immediately around Siem Reap is rice paddy, sugar-palm trees and villages that are five minutes off the temple road and rarely seen by people doing the circuits. The sugar palm is the national tree and its sap is tapped from the crown by men who climb a notched pole twice a day, boiled down to the palm sugar used in every Khmer kitchen. The rice year sets everything: transplanting in the wet months, the fields green through the rains, harvest around November and December, then dry stubble and dust. Late afternoon is when the light works and when the villages are out, so most of these rides run to sunset. Priced per person at about $46 each, so a party of 8 comes to $364. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Journey Cambodia runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
