Our tour guide Jackie took us to this workshop-cum-store in a quiet part of Siem Reap. As we went early we skipped the time that it could be crowded. They have a workshop to demonstrate how handcrafts are made. They help young people learn Cambodian crafts and thereafter make them for sale. They have a whole range of products made from stone, silk, wood, ceramic and more. They also carry personal care products apart from garments and home furnishings. Even to just see the products it is worth a visit to their Store. The product design is very good and so too the quality. Displays are all done tastefully. That said, the price is higher than at Old Market area where the merchandise's province could be unknown. Some products are discounted for stock clearance. Staff are at hand to explain and help customers. All in all a good place to shop at Siem Reap away from crowds, heat and dust of Open Air markets.
