We like this life

Our friends at Babel Guesthouse takes us beyond the tourist crowds of Siem Reap. In this video, we take a tuk-tuk out of the busy city and into the countryside to visit a local Khmer restaurant overlooking a peaceful lagoon and endless rice fields β complete with hammocks, pillows, talking birds, and food we could never find back home in Norway.
Riding a Cambodian tuk-tuk always feels like freedom. The wind, the smells, the street life β a world away from the dark, freezing Norwegian winter we just escaped. This little adventure is one of the many things you can do when staying at Babel Guesthouse, who took us far beyond the tourist areas to show us how Khmer families relax.
