Silk Island Koh Dach Full Day Tour from Phnom Penh
Silk Island Koh Dach Full Day Tour from Phnom Penh
A Koh Dach Day by Local Transport
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
A short tuk-tuk ride and a ferry crossing over the Mekong River bring you to Koh Dach, known to travellers as Silk Island, a world away from the pace of Phnom Penh.
Cycle along quiet, unpaved roads bordered by rice paddies, vegetable farms and fruit orchards, stopping at handicraft workshops where weavers, potters and wood carvers still practise skills passed down through generations. Watching silk being spun and dyed, or pottery shaped by hand, offers a direct look at crafts rarely seen elsewhere in Cambodia.
Enjoy a local lunch at one of the island's restaurants, then cycle back toward the ferry with a stop at a fruit plantation to sample the season's harvest, before crossing back to the mainland for the return to Phnom Penh.
An easy-paced day of cycling, craft and countryside just across the river from the capital.
