Santuk Silk Farm
A small family-run silk workshop at the foot of Phnom Santuk, where visitors can see the full process of sericulture, silk reeling and traditional weaving for free.
This small silk farm, run by a local family, takes visitors through the entire process: growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms, boiling cocoons and reeling silk, natural dyeing, and weaving on wooden looms. English-language explanations are available. Visits are free, and you can buy scarves and krama, the traditional Khmer checked cloth, to support the artisans. The farm lies on a small road beside National Route 6 near Phnom Santuk, so it is best combined with a visit to the mountain. Opening hours are irregular, so it is wise to contact them in advance or ask your tuk-tuk driver to check.
