Once you get used to the bike, we will take the back road out of Phnom Penh with little traffic along the scenic road. We will stop regularly to see the sights along the way including a stop at the silk weaving village where we see villagers sit underneath their houses on stilts producing shiny silk scarves called using their traditional wooden loom. Along the way, there are numerous family-size businesses including kantele – the old fashion but the must-have mat weaved from river reed.

The temple still owns fine Apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. Continue exploring the mysterious Royal city of Angkor Thom. The 54-tower temple of Bayon is an awesome sight with hundreds of smiling faces.
