4.Angkor Silk Farm & Lotus Silk Farm: Siem Reap Discovery Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 68 reviews · 4 hours · from $25

Meet at Biolab Café for a guided visit to Angkor Silk Farm and Lotus Silk Farm. See silkworms, silk thread-making, lotus fiber extraction, and traditional weaving, then enjoy lotus tea and biscuits. Transport and English- or French-speaking guides are included. Boutique purchases and extra craft activities cost extra.

“This was well organised, as well as being informative and great fun! We particularly enjoyed learning about how Lotus silk is made and the optional boat ride around the Lotus growing area is a must! It's quite a long trip by tuktuk from the lotus farm to the silk farm, but the driver took great care of us and waited until we were ready to return. When you understand how much time and resources are invested in the products, it's easier to understand why they are more expensive than mass produced alternatives!”

The country side “ tour” itself ended up being more of a taxi ride to and from the floating village but was enjoyable just the same. The vintage jeep was a fun ride but uncomfortable in the back for the third person.”
