So you think you can teach! NEW
More than just temples
Want to volunteer but only have limited time. Here is how you can turn half a day into something incredible.
English gives children a future. Being able to speak English well is undoubtedly a skill that gives children opportunities. With confidence, and the ability to clearly communicate children have a fantastic foundation for the future. Nothing beats learning and practicing with English speakers.
You don’t need teaching experience to help children develop their English skills. If you are friendly, enjoy having fun and willing to give up some of your time, you can share an amazing experience with very willing students.

Kompong Phhluk - The Stilted Village
Full Day guided tour
Located some 16km from Siem Reap, the village of Komong Phhluk is an absolute must see. Built in the flood plane of the Tonle Sap the houses here tower on stilts as high as 10 meters.
In wet season the stilts are hidden and water laps at the floor boards. The flooded mangrove forests are an incredible sight and a wonderful place to tour by boat. This is one of our favourite places in Siem Reap.
