Mekong Silk Island 099
Koh Dach – or Silk Island – may be a short way from Phnom Penh, but its a world away from the capital’s hustle and bustle. We look at the best ways to explore Silk Island, and what to do while you’re there. Located just a 45-minute tuk-tuk or moto drive and short ferry journey away from Phnom Penh, a visit to Koh Dach is a great way to escape the humdrum of capital life while discovering rural Cambodia. The cooling calm of the island is not only a great respite: it’s also a fun way to learn more about Cambodia’s silk weaving history, stroll through quiet villages, relax on the river or go for a dip. Silk history Cambodia has a lengthy silk-weaving history that stretches back to pre-Angkorian times. While the art is dwindling, countrywide efforts are being made to rekindle the craft. Koh Dach is dotted with weaving communities. Visitors can learn more about the process, from the plumping up of the silk worms with mulberry leaves, spinning the yarn and dyeing techniques to seeing the final product. The main silk weaving centre is about 1km from the ferry landing. It houses a series of stilted wooden houses, where weavers sit with their handmade wooden looms and create patterned silk scarves and traditional Khmer skirts.

Koh Dach, silk island or weavers.
Silk Island near Phnom Penh is accessible by taking the ferry (10 minutes crossing time). It is 7 km long and the tuk-tuk ride is the most suitable to stop on demand. This is quiet, away from traffic. The visit to the silk weaving workshops is interesting as that of the manufacture of soy foam. Depending on the hours we will meet the little schoolchildren at the end of the classes. A detour to the local pagoda is also worthy of interest. Note that the dyeing of silk is done with natural shades.
Response from the operator: Dear Mauzin, Thank you very much for sharing your experience of Silk Island near Phnom Penh. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the island, the short ferry crossing, and exploring by tuk-tuk, which is indeed a wonderful way to travel at your own pace. It’s great to know that you found the visits to the silk weaving workshops and the soy foam production interesting, as well as the chance to observe everyday local life, including the schoolchildren after class. We’re also pleased that you appreciated the visit to the local pagoda and the use of natural dyes in the silk-making process. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another authentic experience in Cambodia. Best regard, Lay

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phnom Penh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phnom Penh is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phnom Penh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phnom Penh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phnom Penh and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Phnom Penh City & Silk Island with a local Tuk Tuk Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phnom Penh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phnom Penh?
+
On Outty we rank every Phnom Penh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Tuol Sleng S21 and Choeung Ek Killing Field Tour, The Killing Field and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) Tour, Killing field and Toul Sleng genocide museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phnom Penh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phnom Penh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
