The 10 Best Classes & Workshops in Siem Reap, Siem Reap Province

March 8, 2022 Tambra Mccollister

When the morning light washes over the overgrown temples and ruins of Angkor Wat, a simple Siem Reap sunrise becomes a profound event. The ancient structures are contained within one of the largest religious complexes in the world. The complex and the 12th century Angkor Thom royal city are considered the main reasons to visit Siem Reap. Get a lesson in national history at the Cambodian Cultural Village, and a lesson in bargaining at the Angkor Night Market, a bonanza of shopping stalls, food vendors, and bars.

Can not recommend this enough - Ben is an amazing human being, I learnt a huge amount, it was great fun, the food was delicious and the work that he is doing with the local orphans almost moves you to tears. One of the best $26 you‘ll ever spend. Itinerary is - picked up from hotel in TukTuk at 7.45, drive to local market tour then cooking a three course meal from scratch (including curry paste) in a lovely kitchen round the corner from the market, drop back at hotel for 12.15pm

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!

Chef Bunsoeurb provided a 1st class experience, starting with a trip to the market to purchase the produce for our class. His interaction with the produce vendors was wonderful to watch and he guided me to what was safe for me to eat (celiac), Chef also customized the menu to accommodate my allergy. Sharing this experience with my son, made for a very memorable experience. Loved the outdoor cooking space & the staff was fun & attentive. I have been fortunate enough to take cooking classes around the world and this experience makes the top of my list. We created a delicious and beautiful meal.
