The Full Experience

Discover everything — temples, mountain, forest, river, silk weaving, and Prey Lang eco-trails.

1

Ancient Civilization

6:30 AM

Sambor Prei Kuk — Full Exploration

A deep two-hour exploration of all three temple groups with a specialist guide. Learn the history of Ishanapura, the Chenla Empire, and why these temples changed the course of Khmer architecture.

Sambor Prei Kuk — Full Exploration
9:30 AM

Prasat Andet — Hidden Temple

A rarely-visited 7th–8th century temple surrounded by rice fields — completely off the tourist trail. You'll likely have it entirely to yourself.

12:00 PM

Homestay Check-in & Lunch

Check into Sambor Village Homestay. Home-cooked lunch prepared by the host family.

3:00 PM

Photography Walk — Temple Forest

Return to the temples in the afternoon for the warm golden light. The forest shadows and brick textures are at their most dramatic.

7:00 PM

Village Evening

Dinner with the homestay family. Sit on the veranda, listen to the evening, and go to bed early — tomorrow starts at sunrise.

2

Mountain, Forest & Silk

6:00 AM

Phnom Santuk Sunrise Climb

Start climbing before sunrise. Reach the summit pagoda as the sun rises over the Cambodian plains — extraordinary light and total silence.

9:30 AM

Prey Lang Forest Trail

Head to the edge of Prey Lang — Southeast Asia's largest lowland forest. Walk a 2-hour trail with a community forest monitor, learning about conservation, wildlife, and medicinal plants.

1:00 PM

Baray Silk Weaving Village

Drive to Baray District. Visit a silk weaving family, see the natural dyeing process, and try your hand at the loom. Learn why Kampong Thom silk is prized across Cambodia.

4:30 PM

Baray Silk Lodge Check-in

Check into the Baray Silk Lodge — a peaceful eco-lodge nestled among weaving communities, with bicycle rentals and a sky full of stars.

7:00 PM

Lodge Dinner & Stargazing

Dinner at the lodge. With no light pollution in Baray district, the night sky is remarkable — bring a blanket and look up.

3

Meditation, River & Farewell

6:30 AM

Forest Pagoda Meditation

A quiet morning at a forest pagoda. Sit with resident monks, learn a simple breathing meditation, and carry the stillness into the day.

9:00 AM

Return to Town — Market Morning

Drive back to Kampong Thom town. Explore the morning market at its most lively — fresh produce, street snacks, Kuy Teav, and local vendors.

Return to Town — Market Morning
11:00 AM

Cooking Class — Farewell Lunch

A 2-hour cooking class with a local family: amok, papaya salad, and sticky rice dessert. Then sit down and eat what you made.

2:00 PM

Stung Sen Farewell Walk & Departure

One last riverside walk. Buy a few souvenirs — locally woven silk, palm sugar sweets, or handmade ceramics. Then board your bus or van onward.

Tips
📅

Book at least a week in advance for the 3-day package — homestays, the silk lodge, and the forest guide all need advance arrangements.

🌿

The Prey Lang trail involves walking on uneven forest ground — closed-toe shoes and long trousers recommended (mosquitoes).

📷

Day 1 afternoon and Day 2 sunrise are the two best photography moments — plan your battery charging accordingly.

💚

Your visit directly supports community livelihoods — the forest monitors, homestay families, silk weavers, and cooking teachers all earn from responsible tourism.
