Angkor Silk Farm

The Angkor Silk Farm is located in the Pouk District of Siem Reap, an easy 30-minute drive from the city centre of Siem Reap. It has been operating since the 1990s and was renovated and reopened in 2024.

Their large grounds include a Mulberry plantation, cocoon-erie, spinning & dyeing workshop, silk weaving workshop, and a sales centre. They offer guided tours where the whole process of silk production is introduced, from the plant and the silkworm all the way through the stages of harvesting, preparation, and then, the final product.

The experience is extraordinarily informative and, overall, is well-presented. The guided tour lasts around 40-50 minutes and is available in English and Khmer. During the warmer months, it can get a bit hot, even though you are indoors mostly, so be sure to carry a water bottle. The tours are not pre-booked and are provided on demand.

At the end of the tour, you can relax in the air-conditioned shop which offers all the products that you have just witnessed being made and other local hand-made crafts. There is zero pressure to buy anything, albiet that it is the perfect place to do so. From start to finish, it’s quite relaxed and informative.

The site is run by Artisans Angkor, which is a Cambodian social enterprise focused on reviving traditional Khmer craftsmanship (stone and wood carving, silk production, weaving, lacquering, and silver plating). They also have another craft workshop in the city centre on Stueng Thmei St., a short walk from Old Market.
