Chong Koh Village
Chong Koh is a Mekong River cruise port (small village) on Koh Oknha Tey that was recently developed as cruise ship tourism attraction. Locals are engaged in farming, fishing, and silk weaving. Each family in the village has a wood-made loom machine powered by foot pedals. Here tourists can purchase reasonably-priced traditional Khmer headscarfs.
Despite the fact that Chong Koh (the "silk village") is visited by numerous cruise boats, its residents remain friendly. Culture and art attract many international tourists via cruise tour excursion to Cambodia. The village has a temple with pagoda, beautiful Buddha sculpture, and statues of animals.
