Countryside Tours

When you arrive in Cambodia,it immediately apparent that the huge hotels, Guesthouses, restaurants, skyscrapers, buses and cars.

I am, sowanna, happy to assist with trip planning in the countryside and to see a real life of Cambodian. Please write Sowanna012@yahoo.com to discuss an amazing trip in the countryside.

If you are enchanted by rice paddies and water buffalo, houses on stilts and little villages; you will find a tour through the Cambodian countryside truly worthwhile. We are happy to do this and genuinely delighted that visitors are interested to see more of

a real Cambodian life.The brash new hotels and restaurants in Siem Reap can give visitors a false impression of Cambodia.

Poverty and poor living conditions affect most of the population and Siem Reap Province remains the second poorest Province in Cambodia, according to aid organizations. A journey in the Cambodian countryside can help to redress the balance.
