We then continue our ride, gradually climbing through shady rubber plantations, paddy fields and typical Khmer villages to Kampong Thmor where highway 6 starts, from where we transfer to Kampong Thom for lunch. After lunch, drive or cycle a few minutes to your hotel for check in, where you can rest your weary legs. In the evening, you’ll taken to a local restaurant for dinner.

The largest in South East Asia, board a small boat and sail through the traditional floating village of Kampong Phluk, witnessing the residents going about their daily life.
