Depart from the busy city streets of Siem Reap to visit a Buddhist monastery. Learn about the lives of the resident monks and take part in a traditional water ceremony for a personal blessing.
 

Water blessings are a traditional Cambodian practice that date back to ancient times. The blessings take place in an ancient pagoda in the countryside, just south of Siem Reap. Receive a blessing of your own during this 1-hour water blessing experience. Choose from 2 forms of blessings from the monks living at the pagoda. The first begins with the monks chanting harmoniously as they wish you good luck, safe travel, and a long life. It is accompanied by a light sprinkling of water. The second is a longer ritual which involves vessels of blessed water being poured over your head while the monks chant. For this ritual, you will be provided with a sarong to change into so that your clothing remains dry. At the end of the blessing, your wrist is adorned with special red ties that signify the blessing performed.
