Activity
Workshop tour
At the IKTT Village in Cambodia, surrounded by the country’s rich nature, you can tour our textile workshops and take part in hands-on dyeing sessions using natural dyes to create your own handkerchief. You can then take your finished handkerchief home as a special souvenir.
Experience traditional Cambodian Textile-making techniques, discover the beautiful colors extracted from trees and insect nests, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of life in the forest—a true glimpse into village life and craftsmanship.
Within the grounds, you’ll find mulberry farms, a silkworm house, and dye plants, allowing you to experience the natural cycle where people and nature live in harmony. A slow walk through the forest will surround you with a nostalgic, simple, and warm atmosphere.
Workshop Tour

At the IKTT Village workshop, our artisans carefully create textiles every day. From tying and dyeing ikat to weaving, each step requires delicate craftsmanship until the cloth is complete.
During your visit, you can watch the artisans at work up close.
Come and experience the world of Khmer traditional textiles for yourself.
Dye handkerchief
Admission: $30 per person
Duration: 2 hour
Using silk spun from Cambodia’s golden cocoons, you can create a one-of-a-kind handkerchief dyed in three colors with traditional IKAT techniques.
We use the bark of the Prohu tree, a natural dye long used in Cambodia, to achieve bright yellows and soft greens.
You will experience the joy of making it yourself while observing the craftsmen at work up close.
Your finished handkerchief can be taken home as a souvenir or a special gift for someone dear.
