Meet your private driver and transfer to Kampong Chhnang, approximately a 1.5-hour drive from Phnom Penh or around a 4-hour drive from Battambang. During the ride, you can enjoy the scenic landscapes and see rural areas of Cambodia.
Arrive at Smiling Gecko Farmhouse Resort & Spa, where you are welcomed and assisted with the check-in process. After checking in, spend the rest of the day at your leisure. Explore the farm's surroundings, take a walk through the gardens, or simply relax in your comfortable room.
For those seeking extra relaxation, visit the Sanctuary Spa. The spa is enveloped by native plants sourced meticulously from different regions of Cambodia, a project spearheaded to protect the native species. Here, you can experience the marvels of Cambodia's wide-ranging botanical species, preserved and highlighted on the premises. The spa provides an array of treatments designed to revitalize both your body and mind. Additionally, you have the option to indulge in the sauna and plunge pool, join in yoga sessions at the yoga shalas, take a dip in the saltwater pool, or work out in the gym.
In the evening, retire to your Deluxe Khmer Bungalow at the Farmhouse Resort & Spa. Enjoy your stay in delightful Cambodian-style Khmer bungalows furnished with custom-made furniture and elegantly designed bathrooms. Upgraded Bungalow options may be available upon request.
Experience a mix of relaxation and activities over the next two days at the Farmhouse, where you can choose to lounge in the gardens, read a book, or meditate in the serene surroundings. These days offer flexibility for you to tailor your experience according to your preferences. The Farmhouse Resort & Spa provides guided tours at an additional cost, offering insights into the beauty and culture of rural Cambodia, away from typical tourist routes. Options include short or full-day tours to accommodate your schedule and interests. One of the most popular activities is a tour of the Smiling Gecko Campus, which provides a close look at the farm's sustainability efforts and community projects. Engage in farm tasks, learn about eco-friendly practices, and meet local artisans during this tour. Keep in mind that the availability of project tours may vary with the season and ongoing activities, so it's advisable to inquire about possibilities in advance.
Spend your last morning at the Farmhouse enjoying its beauty. After a hearty breakfast, use your free time as you wish until your driver and guide assist you with check-out and luggage.
As you wind down your visit in Kampong Chhnang, keep in mind that these brief stays are pieces of a larger travel picture. Departing on the 1.5-hour drive to Phnom Penh International Airport doesn't mean the end of your exploration but rather a transition to the next leg of your journey. Before leaving, ensure you have all essentials for your trip home or onward to your next destination.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own.
