Slow Travel

Escape the hustle and bustle of Phnom Penh with a scenic boat trip to the islands of the Mekong. Sailing for an hour, you’ll see life on the riverbanks gradually slip into a slower pace and pass traditional fishing families on their houseboats. On arrival at Koh Oknha Tei, mountain bikes await for a leisurely 45-minute cycle along small dirt roads, winding past pagodas, orchards, market gardens and traditional silk weaving villages. Returning to the boat, you take a short ride to the traditional wooden Khmer home of Chef Nak, your host for the evening. Unwind with a swim and a drink before dinner where Chef Nak will guide you through Cambodia’s rich culinary history with a sumptuous tasting menu.
