The Kampong Thom region offers a taste of Cambodia worlds away from the most touristy urban hotspots. The people here are naturally welcoming and display that authentic smile so characteristic of Southeast Asia.

Countryside scooter tours can be demanding. We recommend that our travelers split rides over two days to allow themselves proper rest.

Tour of Surrounding Villages and the Sacred Mountain (3 or 6 hours)

You traverse charming Khmer villages on dirt tracks, where people still live off their own agricultural production. Then, taking the national highway, you'll reach Phnom Santuk, a pre-Angkorian sacred mountain. It's a 100% Khmer spiritual place where time seems to have stopped. We prefer not to reveal too much about this off-the-beaten-path tour… let the discoveries be yours to uncover!

Afterward, you'll visit the stonecutters and "the Old Lady" who crafts Kramas beneath her home. You can try your hand at weaving on her beautiful loom and perhaps pick up souvenirs whose stories you'll be able to share with loved ones back home. The tour concludes at the Boat Pagoda.

Grand Rice Field Tour (5 hours)

The grand rice field tour lasts around 5 hours and takes you further into places tourists rarely venture. Crossing numerous isolated villages on red dirt tracks, you'll discover ancient temples over 1,400 years old, unknown to mass tourism.

The local population, primarily farmers, display an authenticity that travelers in Cambodia rarely witness. Children greet you along your route with their famous: Helllooooooo!!!

Frequent stops offer fantastic panoramas and moments to rest and relax in the shade of palm trees while sipping natural sugarcane juice. We'll say no more so that you can arrive with wonder in your eyes.
