We will visit a Muslim village where Cham people are feeding fish in the Stueng Sangke River and learn about their history and where they came from.
After visiting Cham village, we go see a Buddhist temple, or pagoda. You can go take some photos from the suspension bridge before continuing to explore handicrafts, where Khmer people make their products by hand.
02: We are going to visit the villages and see how they produce local products, such as bamboo sticky rice.
Also, we can get a chance to learn more about the Khmer Rouge when we visit the Well of Shadows (in Wat Samrong Knong), a monument to honor the people killed during the war.

While the sun is setting in the secret bat cave, you can see them fly out from behind you and past you as you enjoy the sunset. We will finish this trip in the evening and take you back to your homestay.
