From Phnom Penh, take a short boat ride across the Mekong River to Silk Island, known locally as Koh Dach. Silk Island is known for its silk weaving, practiced by local women on their looms. On arrival at Silk Island, take a guided cycling tour of the island, meeting the locals who will come out of their houses to wave to you as you pass.
This is the perfect place to see real local life in Cambodia and you will have a chance to meet with local families as you observe the locals making their silk products. End your cycle with a traditional Cambodian lunch with a local family.
