The city of Siem Reap, Cambodia is known for its amazing Angkor Wat temples, but this up and coming city is also home to many luxury spas, fine hotels and unique shopping destinations.
A visit to any one of the local markets; like the night market, will provide shoppers with a wide range of souvenirs and traditional crafts to take home. But for high-quality locally produced items, Artisans d’ Angkor is the place to shop. They specialize in intricately designed wood and stone carvings, silver-plated objects, silk painting, scarves, and hand lacquered art.
Artisans d' Angkor is actually a network of self-sustaining stores and facilities that are committed to providing fair trade, locally produced Cambodian art. Their Chantiers-Ecoles facility, located in the heart of Siem Reap, offers free informative daily tours in multiple languages. Visitors can watch local artisans handcraft many fine products such as silk paintings, wood and stone carvings and metal plated art. Afterwards shoppers may purchase many high-quality but affordable items from the gift shop.
