PROGRAM DETAILS
Today, you will gain insight into the art of Khmer cuisine with a hands-on cooking course. Start the day with a guided tour through the local food market where your chef will explain the Cambodian fruits, vegetables and spices. Be amazed at the vast array of colors, smells, and tastes for sale- from the ubiquitous, smelly fish sauce to the sweet, fragrant mangoes. Travel by local tuk-tuk to the cooking school and explore the secrets of traditional food preparation. With the guidance of your chef, you will observe and then practice Khmer cuisine techniques creating your own dishes for lunch! After enjoying your freshly-prepared lunch, put on your apron again to prepare an authentic Khmer dessert. This afternoon you will also be trained in decorative fruit and vegetable carving. Finish the day with yet another fine self-prepared meal on the cooking school's breezy roof terrace.

Suggested Day Trips
Widen your understanding of Cambodian architecture and history with this fascinating tour of Phnom Penh. Explore the buildings of the 1950s and 1960s, whose designs reflect the vibrant cultural and political changes that were occurring in the country during that period. After a delicious lunch, travel by boat along the Tonle Sap River for views of the riverfront's colonial-era architecture and the local floating villages.
Gain a unique perspective of Phnom Penh with an evening tour. Visit the historic Royal Palace and National Museum before heading to Wat Phnom for views of the city in the late afternoon light. As the sun sets, embark on a dinner cruise where you will watch the city lights illuminate the skyline. Finish the evening with a relaxing cocktail at a riverfront bar.
End your trip with a night at...
Renovated from a French colonial-era villa, the FCC Hotel Phnom Penh offers spacious, comfortable rooms, overlooking the Mekong River to the east and the National Museum to the west.
Immerse yourself in form and comfort as you step from the vibrant riverfront of Phnom Penh along the banks of the Tonle Sap, in to The Quay. The city's first carbon-friendly hotel is a minimalist hideaway that is both urbane and relaxed.
