DAYS: 01 PHNOM PENH – ARRIVAL
Morning arrival at Phnom Penh Airport. Transfer to your hotel. The same afternoon, the Royal Palace. The Palace was opened in 1870 under King Norodom, and now contains the Royal Residence, the Throne Hall, the Silver Pagoda, and other buildings. The Silver Pagoda (Wat Preah Keo Morokat) is one of the city's most visited sites and offers a display of priceless Buddhist and historical objects. The Pagoda draws its name with more than 5,000 silver tiles, which cover a floor in the temple. The building serves less as a functioning shrine, no monks currently reside here, than a repository of cultural treasures such as the famous Emerald Buddha and many other valuable statues. And explore the National Museum’s collection of Khmer art, which displays over 5,000 objects including statues and other artifacts from Angkor Wat. Overnight at hotel in Phnom Penh.

DAYS: 02 PHNOM PENH– SILK FARM (BREAKFAST)
Breakfast at hotel, This morning, we start fantastic journey on Koh Dach (Silk Island). The experience starts with a short drive from your hotel to a local jetty north of the city where you board a small ferry taking you across the Mekong River to Silk Island. You will then start walking around villages where there is a weaving loom under every house. Friendly locals will invite you to their stilted wooden houses and demonstrate the techniques of silk and cotton weaving that have been passed down over the generations. Wind through small trails to explore small farms growing exotic vegetables in the fertile soil and pass by small schools and colourful pagodas. To circumnavigate the island you will ride for approximately 25km, but the length of the trip can be tailored to individual fitness and ability levels. Visit Tuol Sleng Museum (S-21 prison). This former school was used as a prison by Pol Pot’s security forces. More than 17,000 people held at S-21 were taken to the extermination camp at Choeng Ek to be executed. Then drive to visit the “Killing Fields” of Choeng Ek (15 km south of Phnom Penh). Between 1975 and 1978 about 17,000 men,
