Description
Starting at 4:30 pm, enjoy a welcome cocktail before a guided 30-minute walk through Lotus Silk Farm, a UNESCO Award-winning social enterprise preserving seven endangered Khmer crafts.
Observe lotus stems drying, hand-drawn fibers, and weavers at their looms in a working farm environment rather than a staged display.
Next, board a flat-bottomed boat for a 1-hour tour of the lotus lake as the sun sets, culminating in a traditional blessing ceremony performed by Buddhist monks chanting from a lakeside pavilion.
After the boat ride, you will spin lotus fiber by hand and weave a lotus seed bracelet guided by local artisans. Both creations are yours to keep.
The experience concludes with a vegetarian and lotus-based farm dinner accompanied by unlimited drinks under the open sky.
