At Samatoa Lotus Farm, located near Siem Reap, guests will find a social enterprise that combines sustainability with Cambodian culture. This unique destination employs local women artisans who use a special process to turn discarded lotus stems into delicate, silk-like fibers.

The farm offers a variety of experiences. Guests can take a guided tour to see the lush lotus fields and learn about the flower’s deep cultural and spiritual significance as a symbol of purity. During the tour, guests will get a hands-on demonstration of how the fibers are extracted and spun into thread. Afterward, they can participate in a workshop to create their own souvenir from lotus flowers.

The Phare Circus has been a cultural experience, where the artists create these stories from their own life experiences, both traditional and contemporary, to share their struggles and dreams.
