The entire experience was wonderful! From the time our guide Phareon, picked us up to the time we arrived back at our destination he took care of us. It was wonderful to see the village life, the crops they grow and how day to day life unfolds. The market had such a variety of good eats and the cooking experience was so informative and fun. We had fish amok, chicken curry soup, and a banana tapioca dessert. If you want to see the simple life and get away from the city this trip is for you. A+ Tour Guide and Tour!

We ended the day with an amazing chef that guided us through a 3 delicious course meal! A fantastic 3 hour experience in Siem Reap. We had a fantastic time all the way through. Can not recommend it enough! Thanks Thanut and all the team for the amazing experience

I had a fantastic time at this afternoon cooking class & village tour, It’s started with tuk tuk transport from my hotel to outside of Siem Reap city, and my guide Ron walked with me around the village to visit many places such as local market and vegetable farms get in touch with the locals & told me about all the Khmer ingredients, allowing me to smell different herbs and spices. She even purchased some traditional desserts for me to try. We then went to a gorgeous open-air kitchen, and prepared a 3 course meal. The chef was really knowledgeable and helpful - I had so much fun learning about Khmer cooking! I then enjoyed the meal on their patio, which included not only the dishes I made but also many more! I HIGHLY recommend this class!
