Ang Trapaeng Thmor is a large Angkorian reservoir (baray) rebuilt by the Khmer Rouge and is still used today to irrigate rice paddies nearby the reservoir. In 2002 it was declared a Sarus Crane Reserve, providing a crucial safe feeding ground for the crane and other wildlife, including the critically endangered Eld’s Deer. During your tour, you’ll explore the reservoir on foot and by kayak. You’ll get to see flocks of ducks, trees laden with storks, fruit bats and hopefully the elusive Sarus Crane. After a traditional Khmer lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the Phnom Srok Village. This agricultural community still practices traditional methods including pulling silk yarn from boiled grubs and using looms under the village house. Both the grubs and the silk are available for sale.
