Cambodian Angkor Tour Services


Countryside Tours

I grew up in Siem Reap Province in a village known as Palmtree Village. The vast majority of Cambodians live in small villages just like this one. Exploring the modern opportunities in Siem Reap and the ancient spectacles of the temples are fantastic opportunities, but to fully explore Khmer culture and the struggles that Cambodia continues to face, a trip to the countryside is essential. Cambodia is the poorest country in Southeast Asia and Siem Reap province remains the second poorest province in the country.

There are many villages that I work with that love to receive foreigners for a visit. Travel with me to see water buffalo, stilt houses, and traditional rice cultivation in vibrantly green paddies. The people of the countryside are generous and friendly and life is slow. Traveling to one of these villages brings further interest and income to them. A visit to them is a way for generous individuals to help redress the economic imballance in Cambodian society.

Adventure Temple Tours

Banteay Srei Temple

Half Day Tour.

Banteay Srei temple was built in 967 AD. It is the only temple in the kingdom built of pink and yellow sandstone,

higher quality and harder stone that was later abandoned for the grey and green sandstone used to built later temples like Angkor Wat. This superior stone has ensured that the carvings of Banteay Srei have remained in such fantastic condition, offering a rare opportunity to visitors who explore beyond the immediate temple complex.

Kbal Spean

This place, holy to the ancient Khmer, still shows the sacred lingas and other reliefs carved into the rock riverbed so many centuries ago.
