A Personal Invitation from HUOT Dara—Social & Cultural Innovator:
For 25 years, I have lived the transformative power of travel. Carrying Cambodia’s heart across continents, I led Phare Circus as CEO for over a decade and Phare Creative Studio with devotion to pride and empowerment. Whether traveling with our artists to world stages or standing on those stages myself, my mission has always been to share our enduring stories and our “Cambodianess” with the world. My journey was shaped by my father’s legacy as Village Chief and Head of Wat Preah Enkosar Pagoda & School Committee, he fundraised to build the Wat Po Langka Pagoda Bridge—a wooden & iron structure that connected our community to its heart.
Now, I invite you into these stories. Offered in English, French and Khmer, walk with me to honor memory, meaning & culture— authentic experiences! For a prviate journey, book minimum 4 guests add a remark at checkout with your preferred date, start time, and transport choice.

What To Expect
Wat Po Langka Pagoda — We’ll begin at a pagoda and later close with another, tracing the foundation of Cambodian beliefs. Here you’ll learn how pagodas have shaped the past, present, and aspiring future of our communities. You’ll also glimpse to the exact spot I was born at, including memories of my early childhood.
Siem Reap Riverside Park
Boeung Donpa Bridge — Pass by and admire the new bridge built over the one from my story. Remember the person who made it possible: SOU Chan Huot, also known as LIM Tech Huot — whose legacy I walk upon and honor as I begin a new chapter in life.

5.00A wonderful experience in a peaceful and authentic setting. The meditation session at the villa with its swimming pool was both relaxing and rejuvenating. The visit to the Khmer village near the pagoda offered a great opportunity to discover the local culture in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was well organized, and the hospitality was excellent. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
