Description
Two UNESCO-recognised artisan enterprises in one morning. Discover lotus silk weaving and seven Khmer crafts — minivan transfer included.
Siem Reap holds two living temples of Khmer craftsmanship. This half-day tour brings them together in one unhurried morning.
Guests meet at Maison Lotus, where an air-conditioned minivan departs for Artisans Angkor's Living Art Museum — the country's leading craft school and workshop complex. Watch stone carvers, lacquer artists, silk painters, and silversmiths at work: ancient technique, living hands, every morning.
From there, the minivan continues to Lotus Silk Farm, a social enterprise where 213 artisans across four villages preserve seven endangered Khmer crafts — including the rare art of weaving silk drawn from lotus stems. Your guide will walk you through the spinning halls, and the handloom rooms, introducing the weavers whose families have practised these traditions for generations. The visit closes with a cup of traditional lotus tea beside the lake.
Both enterprises are UNESCO-recognised and operate as social businesses: every ticket supports artisan wages directly.
