Rural Indochina Family Adventure
Ideal for intrepid families. Rafting, cycling, home-stays, jungle and beach in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
This community-based homestay project is a fantastic way to experience rural life in a beautiful and remote part of the Cambodian countryside. The homestay occupies a large plot of farmland about 26km away from Siem Reap and has two Khmer-style houses on stilts for accommodation with simple decor and basic facilities. Whilst none of the accommodation has air conditioning, the traditional design of the buildings means that it is naturally ventilated and remains cool throughout the day and night.
The homestay has a main house with a large wooden loom where you can watch the staff weaving scarves and table-runners, all of which are sold with profits invested back into the local community. This house also serves as the restaurant, where meals are prepared from fresh, locally sourced food.
There are various activities on offer such as ox-drawn cart and bicycle rides through local villages, you can also learn to cook and farm rice. The home-stay is passionate about educating local children, locals come here to learn basic English skills and guests are more than welcome to join in with the teaching.
Bongthom Home-Stay is important to the local community, all products from food to bedding are locally sourced and the staff are from local villages. The whole organisation is totally committed to developing the rural area and encouraging sustainable tourism. The Bongthom Home-Stay is the perfect combination of leisure, education and cultural integration. A fantastic and authentic experience, especially for families.
Eco/Adventure - This category covers gorgeous lodges in the jungle, comfortable safari camps and dreamy, but simple, beach cabanas. These places defy conventional categorisation: what is communing with nature to one person may be terrifying bugs to another! Many of these places are very comfortable and the service generally of a very high level - but please read the website review carefully and/or talk to us and be sure to have understood what you are letting yourselves in for!
