Boat Trip To Silk Island

Silk Island is a typical Khmer village with houses built high on stilts and workshops below. Meet the families who are still maintaining the old traditions of hand looming silk and dying it to bright hues. You’ll be amazed by the homemade spinning wheels made from old bicycle parts. Watch as the silk is transformed from a cotton wool-like texture into thread. If you like you can try your hand at weaving or purchase silk items direct from the family. You’ll have time to wander the village and chat to the locals. Enjoy a picnic lunch and visit to a Buddhist temple before returning to Phnom Penh early afternoon.
