This fun-filled culture week is designed to ease you into the lifestyle and pace
of Cambodia. It gives you the opportunity to integrate into the rich cultural life
of Cambodia. You'll meet the local people, taste the local cuisine and get familiar

You'll get to know your town and everything required to make your stay comfortable.

cooking techniques with the chance to sample your work. Cambodia is most famous
for its temples and you'll be taken to the finest temples of the area. We also carefully
