Kampong Chhnang – Exploring the Port of Pottery

Step into the clay-scented world of Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia’s famed “Port of Pottery,” where centuries-old traditions come alive through the hands of local artisans. Wander through riverside villages where families shape earthen pots under stilt houses, and kilns glow softly in quiet corners.

Here, you can roll up your sleeves and try molding your own clay bowl, guided by skilled potters who’ll share stories of their craft passed down through generations. Ride an ox cart past fields where natural clay is sourced, visit open-air workshops, and even paint your own ceramic keepsake.

This is not just a visit — it’s a tactile, immersive experience into Cambodia’s living heritage, ideal for those who love slow travel and cultural depth.
