We had an amazing time learning to cook traditional Cambodian dishes, with the hands-on experience allowing us to connect deeply with the local flavors. The oxcart ride through the village was a highlight, giving us a glimpse into everyday life, though we wished for a bit more time to explore the area afterward.

The cooking class offered a hands-on approach to preparing authentic Cambodian dishes that felt both fun and informative. Riding the oxcart through the village gave us a unique perspective of the local lifestyle, though we wished the ride had lasted a bit longer. Overall, the experience was a delightful blend of culinary skills and cultural immersion that made our time in Krong Siem Reap memorable.

Experiencing the local culture through cooking was a delightful journey for our group, as we learned to prepare traditional dishes using fresh ingredients straight from the market. The oxcart ride added a whimsical touch, letting us soak in the sights and sounds of village life, though it could have been a bit more comfortable. Overall, the combination of hands-on cooking and genuine local interactions made for an unforgettable afternoon.

The cooking class offered a hands-on experience as I learned to prepare traditional Cambodian dishes, which truly enriched my understanding of the local cuisine. The oxcart ride through the village was a charming touch, although the journey felt a bit short; I would have loved to explore more of the surroundings.
