About this activity

Take a day off from temple sightseeing and discover Cambodian village life. Experience life as a local and help out around the village by supporting a local charity tourism project

When visiting a country as a tourist, it’s often very easy to ignore the poverty of the beautiful country you’re in. The Day in a Life program strives to bridge the gap between tourists and ‘Type 1’ village families (those that struggle to meet daily needs, and often for food too). A local host family will welcome you into their home and lives for the day. They receive a small payment for this task and a larger contribution is made to a village fund, used for village projects like water filters and wells. Step into a villager’s shoes and help out with daily tasks: plant or harvest rice, weave thatch for roofs, create wall panels, plant vegetables or trees, make ‘prahoc’ or rice wine. Every tour is different and tasks depend on the time of year, family needs and village goings-on.

Join a local host family in a rural farming village and help out with daily tasks
Support responsible tourism and a local communities charity (5% of the tour price goes directly to the charity)
With tour groups of no more than 8 - or even better, a private tour for up to 5 - you can be sure that you’ll get a personalized experience
Enjoy a casual picnic lunch with your Khmer host family
Transportation to and from the village is provided plus the insight of a local guide
