Artisans d'Angkor has created jobs for more than 700 people who earn approximately US$70 per month. Products from the Artisans d'Angkor are on sale in the Old Market of Siem Reap and various outlets around the town. A boutique selling the goods of the artisans is also located at Siem Reap Airport itself.
It was a very pleasant and interesting tour allowing us to watch artisans at work and to buy authentic Cambodian handicraft.
