Located on an island in the middle of the Mekong just upstream from Phnom Penh, Koh Oknha Tey is renowned as the center of Cambodia’s silk trade. We love this stop because it offers a complete picture of the craft: visitors can watch the entire silk-making process, from silkworms feeding on mulberry leaves to artisans dyeing and weaving the delicate threads on traditional wooden looms underneath stilt houses. Beyond the workshops, the island offers a peaceful glimpse into rural life, with pagodas and sandy paths set among mango and banana plantations, making it perfect for a cycling excursion.
Observation of the complete silk production cycle, from worm to loom.
Demonstration of traditional Khmer weaving techniques by local artisans.
Scenic rural setting with sandy paths ideal for cycling or walking.
Opportunity to purchase high-quality local silk directly from the weavers.
