Silk Factory

Artisans D'Angkor runs a silk farm and manufacturing facility about 20 minutes outside of town.  A full tour and thorough explanation of work in English is given for free, with a tour guide for each visitor group, no matter how small.  The facility is nice to see.  You will need to hire a car or tuk tuk to get there. 

Cambodian silk is exquisite, so the pleasant tour here will give you an appreciation of the labour (from the silk worms as well as the skilled people!) that go into every thread. The store here has a fine, reasonably upmarket collection of silk goods including purses, clothing and bolts of silk in brilliant colours.
