    We had an awesome tour of their workshop by the French owner himself, we got to take a boat ride onto a lake where there were many lotus. After that we went back to the workshop and there were a lot of activities related to the lotus but the 2 hours we booked wasn’t enough to finish all the activities. The visit can be done in French English or Khmer, But be aware that it does need to be booked in advance.

    I loved visiting the lotus farm! We didn't know it was there so just wandered in out of interest. A very friendly staff member gave us a tour free of charge - there is some information about the process and the products they make, you can try out making the lotus flower into thread and have a cup of lotus tea. All the products are sustainability produced and don't use artificial materials, and the company itself provides employment for vulnerable women, so it's really a nice place to support. They have lovely products in their shop and run workshops too.

    Gave us a free tour, explaining the process of extracting and using lotus fiber, as well as additional projects such as creating vegan leather from various natural materials like mangoes. They have some paid tours/workshops that sound awesome as well. Gorgeous rooftop views and good tea, kind people, nice shop for woven items, I highly recommend a visit here!

    Very beautiful experience going on there tour. Highly recommend, especially for women who want to see women’s work in Cambodia. It was so relaxing and almost therapeutic to create -- and everyone was so friendly.

    One of the best things I’ve done in Siem Reap! The work they’re doing is simply amazing and the staff is super friendly. Beautiful views from the top of that place. We pay 10 usd each to do a boat trip to see the loto flowers and it was worthy!!!

    Really nice place, a beautiful cause. They are a social enterprise and the founder gave us a free tour explaining all they do. It's really interesting all the tell about the Lotus flor, an amazing plant indeed. Really recommend to go, close to the city, nice area, you will learn something new, have the chance to support this good project buying some handmade cloths and enjoy a cup of lotus tea with an amazing view of the plantations. Don't miss it! 🤙

    We had the most magical and calming experience here. Perfect opportunity to take a few hours out to learn something new, do an interesting activity and enjoy the serene and beautiful spot that the farm is based on. We did the workshop with boat ride, all the team were knowledgeable and helpful, the atmosphere felt safe and relaxed and great value for a unique experience. Definitely be sure to add this to your Siam reap list!

    Highly recommend! I did the whole workshop and got to try out the whole lotus silk process as well as make my own lotus beads bracelet, incense sticks, and lotus paper. The tour into the lake with the lotus flowers was so beautiful. The owner is so kind and this is a social enterprise empowering women in the local community. The whole experience was just beautiful. The lotus tea and biscuits were also good. If you do the whole package you get a little gift after to take with you with some lotus oil, the bracelet you make, some lotus tea, incense sticks you made, and some lotus beads. Everything was just beautiful!

    It a beautiful place which support and educated ladies for around 150 of them to learn how to make the lotus fiber to be a nice clothes, scarf and many more. Boat riding also available here. I would recommend them just to focus on lotus, not mix "Lotus & silk", Silk...... For guide here need extra charge around 5$ each, but it really nice to have a guide to learn whole process. After done workshop, we may check out the shopping (shipping is free). End up with lotus tea with dry coconut with lotus. The tea here is really tasty.

    This farm is definitely worth visiting. We enjoyed a boat ride through the lotus plus an informative tour that demonstrated how they make cloth from the fibers of the lotus. They also had lotus tea available to drink as we enjoyed the view from the roof of the building. It was good to see an operation that is focused on empowering local women and on being environmentally conscientious as well. Their prices for the your and for their project are very good for the value.

    What a very beautiful afternoon! We learned so much about the Lotus plant and this eco sustainable and women friendly organisation. If you want to learn how to transform the Sacred Lotus Flower into unique sustainable handicrafts, this place is the way to go! You can visit for a tour and boat ride or do the workshops. This way the organisation can support hundreds of the most vulnerable women in the surroundings of Siem Reap. It's so worth doing the boat ride and the workshops. We had so much fun. We were very grateful for their kind hospitality, their kindhearted spirit and creativity. So impressed by their positive drive to stand by their mission to support the women to make a better life and use all of the Lotus plant in an eco sustainable way. Thanks again for a great afternoon!

    It’s a very interesting place and we did not know that the lotus plant had so many uses. The thread creation and weaving is amazing but at $299 USD for a scarf it is very expensive. We took the boat tour to the lake with the locals, saw the flowers, received a bouquet and a necklace and I even ate a shoot from the water - yea you read right! As it stands I am ok but only time will tell! It’s a good tour and it’s nice to see how some locals live.

    Great experience! Never known the lotus fabric can be such an interesting topic! It's a local farm where they obtain fabric from lotus plant, with 100% sustainable process and you can see directly there. The girls that welcome you are so sweet and kind, and they give you all the informations, and a nice welcoming with a lotus tea and sweet biscuits on the roof terrace. Try to support them by doing the paid guide and buying some articles. The boat tour is available too. It doesn't take so much, just a couple pf hours, but they are worthy! You can see how good local firms are involved in the valorization of the territory 🪷🪷

    Had an amazing time here! £5 for guided tour with tea and cake, £10 for boat tour around the lotus ponds with a local family - this was a highlight for us. We tried fresh lotus seeds, flower heads and learnt how to fold the flowers. We even helped collect large snails for the family

    It was an awesome fabulous experience! It is amazing to see the whole lotus plant can be used sustainably and the host did an amazing job explaining the whole process of how the different parts of the lotus plants can be used. The boat ride is a bit scary for me at the beginning but after a while, I just indulged in the wonders of nature. The ladies are all very warm and I am inspired by their work on sustainability and social enterprise to help under-privileged women. Thumbs-up and strongly recommend those who wants to have an interesting and unforgettable experience! With love, Sharon & Elaine

    We did the whole workshop package and it was a fantastic experience. If you're not interested in doing the crafts yourself just the boat ride and tour are still very much worth it. I'd recommend coming earlier as doing the boat ride in the cooler morning was definitely a better experience than if we had done it midday. Definitely check it out, it's a very low commitment tour and is not too far from the city center via Tuk Tuk
