Siem Reap classes and workshops can be a great part of your Cambodia holiday experience. Many non-Khmer – visitors and expats alike – enjoy Khmer food. It is generally not spicy as other Southeast Asian cuisines, and home-cooked Khmer food is quite delicious.
That’s why taking cooking lessons to learn how to prepare authentic Khmer dishes are popular in Siem Reap. Several hotels and restaurants offer such cooking classes, and we present a few of them here. You may also participate in various other fun yet insightful activities and learn something new about the local Cambodian food and culture while on holiday!
