Artisans Angkor in Siem Reap isn’t just a shop; it’s a place with a heart. This social business helps young Cambodians in villages learn traditional crafts and get good jobs close to home. Founded in 1992, they’ve trained thousands in skills like silk weaving, stone carving, and wood carving.

Walk into their shop on Stung Thmey Street, a quick stroll from the Old Market, and browse beautiful handmade items. You’ll find silk scarves, lacquerware, and carvings that echo the designs of the famous Angkor temples. Every purchase supports their mission and empowers local artisans.

Artisans Angkor is more than souvenirs; it’s a chance to connect with Cambodian culture and the talented people who keep it alive. They also run workshops where you can see the crafts being made – a fascinating glimpse into Cambodia’s artistic heritage.
