The surge in 2022 bookings has brought renewed interest not only in seeing more destinations in Cambodia beyond the usual highlights but also changes in who is coming. Our recent clients have shared their excitement to visit us as a multi-generational family with their retired parents and their school age children. We are so excited to see Cambodia moving away from the three day post Thailand/ Vietnam extension and onto a variety of exclusive authentic travels over ten days and throughout the country for entire families!
In Cambodia and Southeast Asia children are treasured and spoiled, our past clients love the way everyone is friendly, patient and shares their culture with visiting families. Our best partner hotels have children’s activities, menus and offer certified child care. Playing Indiana Jones during a scavenger hunt around Cambodia’s temples, learning through seeing the amazing biodiversity in our jungles with a naturalist, riding bicycles (we have tandem bikes, child seats and trailers) with a local family, learning our local Aspara traditional dance with the royal ballet and trying their hand at farming Khmer style provide memories for a lifetime.
Our big kids, also known as adults, have a huge range of activities from a relaxing wellness activity, authentic local craft workshops, celebrity chef cooking classes to the adrenaline filled zip lining, helicopter tours of remote temples, diving of Cambodia’s islands and the truly unique cultural activities including joining an active archaeological dig, joining remote tribal rangers protecting endangered wildlife, private tours of the royal palace by a member of the royal family.
The older generations having known Cambodia’s tragic past often find meaningful connections in working with our philanthropy team building wells in villages, joining NGOs whether clearing land mines or educating and serving health care or agricultural training for remote villages. Our past clients have enjoyed slow cruising the Mekong River with stops to local markets, villages and homes that are far from the tourist centers of Siem Reap and downtown Phnom Penh. Often visiting many more times throughout their life after their first journey to Cambodia or incorporating their knowledge and experiences with the local Khmer communities back in the United States, UK, Australia or beyond, these guests treasure the ability to forge genuine warm connections with the Khmer people.
Planning memorable trips for three different generations of your family while making sure each is thrilled at the wonder of Cambodia, engaged each day with the unique activities and appreciative of the lasting connections they make to the culture and community is a specialty of ours we’ve honed living here the past decade and operating family trips since 2015. We’re launching our multi-generational itineraries for 2022 with many of our exclusive Signature Journeys included and some exciting new cultural connections as well. Give us a call and let’s meet to share our passion for Cambodia and Khmer culture and how you can positively impact the community through your visit to our home.
