Enjoy a day tour around Koh Dach Island
About 15 km far from the hustle and bustle of Phnom Penh city, Koh Dach – also known as Mekong Island or Silk Island – is a picturesque world of peace and tranquility lying on the shores of Mekong River. Touring around by a Tuk Tuk, you will see the views of rice paddies, vegetable farms and fruit orchards embracing the island, as well as get a closer look at the local villages and the lifestyle of the villagers. Koh Dach is also famed as an important center of traditional handicrafts in Cambodia, such as silk weaving, pottery, dyeing and wood carving. For a fun experience, you can try to weave silk on spinning wheels or buy silk fabric directly from producers.
