During my trip to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I was looking to visit a village nearby to do some cooking and eating and learn about the culture. So after doing some research, I came across OBT Chiro Village in Kampong Cham, not too far away from Phnom Penh. Although by distance it was quite close, because the roads are not fantastic, it takes about 2 hours to arrive. We arrived at about 8 am. The OBT Chiro Village is sponsored by a local Cambodian NGO that educates and empowers children in the village. And they have helped to bring electricity and running water to the village, that sits along the banks of the Mekong River, not far from Kampong Cham, Cambodia. We were greeted by our host family, and as soon as we arrived, we headed over to the main Kampong Cham market to do some shopping for the Cambodian food cooking we were going to do. The market was fantastic, huge, but friendly, and stocked full of fresh ingredients and lots and lots of fruit. The prices were so cheap as well. We bought many of the supplies we needed. After a fully loaded tuk tuk ride back to Chiro Village to start cooking Along with a couple of different Cambodian dishes, the main dish the family cooked was Khmer curry, a mixture of spices and herbs, pounded into a paste, and cooked along with coconut milk and both pork and chicken. The curry was not very spicy, but had a wonderful lemongrass flavor, and the fresh coconut milk was fantastic. It was a great experience, and we had an amazing time cooking, eating, and visiting with the host family. Thank you Heres how much I paid: Price - 22 USD per person for cooking and eating Roundtrip private taxi from Phnom Penh - 100 USD

If you could lose the discotheque type loud rhythm beats in your videos and play more local musical themes from the places you visit without added drum beating unless part of the local music, it would be so much more educational and enjoyable for us experienced travelers. I love your videos and comments, though.

Please pay generous money for the family, not just the cost for the food. They are poor, u just use them for ur big income but u don't pay enough for poor family, its not a smart way of living life. Sorry Mark i did speak to one of the family u used for ur shoot and they said u just paid for their food cost. Very sad.

Chiro village is such a friendly, hardworking place. Thanks for sharing how this rural community and family works together. Good for you for helping to support this project. I wish more tourists could experience these authentic experiences of rural life in Cambodia.

This video almost reminded me of the days when I lived in Chiang mai Thailand in the early 70's. My parents were in the Peace Corps and we had a great time living there. I loved the people and the culture
