Khmer Hands Resort

Choose from sturdy, stilted, wooden bungalows and cheaper, squat, concrete huts – all with private porch – at this well-run Khmer–American venture that doubles as an arts and hospitality training school for at-risk locals. The excellent restaurant sources herbs and vegetables from a permaculture garden on the premises, and there's a cool gift shop under the restaurant selling pepper, handicrafts and more.
