A tour that is sure to bring back childhood memories for visitors will be organised, featuring handwriting and painting contests, folk games, and hands-on experience in ethnic traditional activities like making pottery or cooking.

Visitors will also be treated to puppetry performances and a course on life skills and teamwork will be on offer for children at the village’s Khmer pagoda complex.
In the first six months of 2018, the village served 328,000 tourists, meeting 60 percent of its target set for 2018.
Of the total, 55,300 visitors used the tour guide service and 30,000 rented accommodation and food services.
