5.00This was a lovely blessing, our guide, Lucky, was very good and explained what would happen and why during our blessing. We also toured the Pagoda, Wat Po. Then we toured a local market that was a very eye opening experience and not for everyone, especially people with weak stomachs. But I'm glad we did it all. Lucky shared with us so much info on Cambodia and personal info which helped us understand what the Cambodian people have experienced over the last 50 years. I highly recommend this tour.
I highly recommend it is amazing

5.00This was an amazing tour the tour guide was knowledgeable, participating, and very kind. His company donates part of the proceeds to the Monks. It was enlightening and spiritual. They are trying to complete construction on the temple. I would do it again it was about a 3 hour tour total with drive time. Denise

5.00The organisors were very supportive and flexible, when I arrived late due to another tour, they offered me to reschedule this experience with no problem. The ceremony itself was a unique experience, and definetely worth for those who are interested in buddhism. The organisers provided towels and appropriate clothing for the ceremony. It was one of my most remarkable experiences in Cambodia.
Nice finish

5.00Towards the end of the holiday, receiving the blessing of a monk is a perfect way to end a holiday. I am grateful to have had this experience. I was picked up by Mr. Chhun Bunleng. He explained to me what I had to do when I was with the monk. Then I had to change into a changing room. Mr. Chhun Bunleng had brought a robe for me so that I didn't have to return to the hotel with wet clothes. After the ceremony, he explained to me that part of the money (ticket that I paid) would be given to the monks. The monks in turn buy materials and give them to the villagers so that they can build streets, schools, etc. It's nice to know that you have not only received the blessing of a monk, but that you have also done something good at the same time. Thank you very much, dear Chhun Bunleg, I felt very comfortable with you.
Get your Monk blessing :)
