Join Sorya, Kong, Sivorn, or another local instructor for a three-hour Khmer cooking class near Siem Reap. Ride a tuk-tuk to a local market, see the garden, choose four dishes, and prepare them in an open-air kitchen. Expect hands-on help, vegetarian options by request, and plenty of food to eat afterward.

“Highly recommend this tour / experience! We were picked up by a Tuk Tuk driver who brought us to the market where we met Kong, our tour guide and cook. There he showed us all the different ingredients and food that locals buy and explained the context and what the ingredients are used for. Later we went to the big outdoor kitchen where we could select 4 dishes to cook - they also have vegetarian options, which is great. Everyone was super friendly and always smiling - we felt very welcome and it was a lot of fun! Kong is such a funny guy and was always joking around. Thanks…”
