All about the trip
At 08:00am, pickup at Siem Reap hotel for your transfer by vehicle to Phnom Penh. During the drive we break up the trip with two stops to visit local sites. The first stop is a visit to Sambor Prei Kuk. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017, Sambor Prei Kuk is an archaeological site in Cambodia located in Kampong Thom Province. These buildings are characteristic of the pre-Angkorean period with a simple external plan. Architectural features include numerous prasats, octagonal towers, shiva lingams and yonis, ponds and reservoirs, and lion sculptures. We take time to explore the grounds and ruins, admiring the ancient architecture before we make our way to enjoy the lunch at glorious restaurant or similar.
After a feast of Khmer specialties, we continue on our drive towards Phnom Penh. Roughly 55km from the capital we make a stop at a local village, Skuon, better known as Spider Town. This busy market village boasts a small community which has become infamous for its hunting and consuming of tarantulas. First eaten during reign of Khmer Rouge when food was scarce and starvation rife, tarantulas are still widely consumer today, particularly in Skuon where these arachnids are found in abundance. We take time to explore the local market to see the many ways these high-protein creep crawlers are prepared, and to try a few if you dare!
