You’ll even receive a monk’s blessing for good fortune and prosperity—a true local tradition!

Next, we’ll ride a section of the ancient Angkor Highway, built in the 12th-13th centuries, before arriving at the farmhouse. Here, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the hosts, enjoy some refreshing drinks, and take a leisurely stroll to visit the farm while savoring a beautiful sunset.
