Navigate off the main roads of Sihanoukville and head to one of the area's less-visited places — Ream Village.
Visit Ream's local government school — Hun Sen Ream Primary School — for a warm welcome from the students and teachers. They are excited, enthusiastic and proud to show you around the grounds. This is a great insight into the Cambodian education system and teaching methods in rural communities.
At the Ream Pagoda, catch an important glimpse of Cambodia's spiritual and cultural traditions. Inhale the sweet scent of incense sticks, set smoldering to pay respects to the spirit world. Examine the numerous statues crafted by local people from the original mountain stone.
In this peaceful place, sip water from a fresh coconut as you take in your surroundings.
A brief stop at the bustling local market perfectly encapsulates Cambodian life — it's a necessity for most families, who cook their meals using super-fresh ingredients.
Returning to Sihanoukville, you'll pause to visit a local home.
Notes:
