Khmer Kids Art Gallery & Art workshop

With the goal helping children, Tomoko and her colleagues aim to provide a free and quality education, primarily to children who have the will to learn but lack the opportunities. We promote our students’ creative expression while allowing them to cherish joyful learning experiences as they grow. We are very proud of our students who have deepened and broadened their knowledge and creative abilities through Small Art School’s programs and activities. Eventually, the school realized the need for more funds in order to support the Khmer children in the best possible way. To help us realize our vision, we established a venue for more people to recognize the talents and abilities of Khmer Children. Thus, the Khmer Kids Art gallery was born. How are the profits from the artworks shared? 50 %: The individual artist or organization where the student belongs to. 30 %: Operating cost for this gallery. 20 %: Operating cost for Small Art School’s educational activities

Angkor Pottery Center

Angkor Pottery Center, run by Siem Reap's most famous local Cambodian potter Ms Paruth Hann, is a wonderful place to learn the art of Khmer pottery. About 4500 years older than the Angkor temples, this art form can be learnt for just $7. Stop by on your way to the floating villages of Tonle Sap lake or spend half a day learning about Khmer pottery designs, carving and glazing.

Thanks to Mrs. Paruth, we had an amazing time in class and brought home some very precious memories and hand-made souvenirs! Mrs. Paruth was very patient in teaching us how to make our very own cup/bowl/vase, we were complete beginners to pottery but we still managed to make something nice with her professional guidance! Mr.s Paruth was so nice to send the burnt and glazed products to our hotel. We were so happy with the class and the products we made.

Mr Ly Gym and Boxing

1. Classic weight gym which has all the body building equipment you need. 2. Classes in Cambodian kickboxing called kun khmer which is very similar to Muay Thai but is becoming more and more famous in the fighting world for its unique use of elbow and knee strikes. Many of our coaches are one of the biggest names in Cambodia right now. 3. Bjj classes with our coach who has learned his skills at the world famous Checkmat gym. 4. Furthermore our personal trainer will make you achieve your fitness goals no matter what they are!!

Mr Ly was able to hook me up with a personal training session on short notice because I dropped in. The gym is well-equipped. I worked with their lead coach who got me on a bunch of drills and pad work. As someone with several years of martial arts training, the work-out was challenging (especially in the humidity), and helped me remember what it was like to work out with a good coach. Thank you!

Fish Spa

If our fish can not make you happy - we will not charge. As you dip you feet in to a large tank the small, excited fish make a B-line for your tantalising toes - which for them is heaven. Gently nibbling at your heels, they exfoliate your feet in the most natural way possible. If you have never done had one fish massage before - it is something that we highly recommend you to try.

The lectures and courses taught by Krishna has taught me a lot about traditional yoga and lifestyle. I’ve gained an understanding of what authentic yoga and meditation is really about rather than what todays modern yoga is portraying. Krishna stresses the importance of how yoga and mindfulness should be incorporated in everyday life which has helped me gain more clarity in my life situations. Bhawani made me as well as the other guests feel like we were at home and she treated all of guests like family. If we needed anything from outside of the retreat, Bhawani and Krishna guided us and also helped book tours and purchase tickets for us. The food is vegetarian, cooked freshly for every meal, and always tasted amazing. The location is also very convenient as there are many shopping areas for food, clothes, souvenirs, etc between 2 - 20 minutes walk depending on where you want to shop. It is also close to a park and many temples if you want to go for a nice walk. I highly recommend this retreat in Siem Riep as it is a very personal and relaxing experience.
