A unique experience in Siem Reap

The lotus, a precious and rare fiber

A socially responsible project
Beyond craftsmanship, the farm also plays an important social role. It supports local women’s employment and values traditional skills while ensuring fair working conditions. This model makes Lotus Silk Farm a true social enterprise.
