The atmosphere was electric, bringing together approximately 700 participants and 30 esteemed institutions, including government agencies, vocational schools, and universities. As a company deeply rooted in the hospitality sector and environmental stewardship, StayNature was honored and happy to collaborate with these organizations to provide students with essential information regarding career paths, academic studies, and scholarship opportunities to promote education in Cambodia.

In particular, StayNature provided 100 trees to the event participants, including:

• 25 Thnong trees

• 25 Chat Ma Lay trees

• 50 Areca palm (Sla) trees

These trees were shared to contribute directly to environmental development and conservation. We believe that as these students plant the seeds for their future careers, we must also plant the seeds for a healthier planet.

StayNature extends its heartfelt thanks to PEPY Empowering Youth, Build Bright University (BBU), and Child’s Dream Cambodia for organizing such a significant event.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth. We look forward to seeing you grow with us!

Exploring Kampot Pepper Plantations

Kampot pepper is a high-quality spice that chefs love for its unique flavor and aroma. When you visit a Kampot pepper farm, you’ll learn about the traditional methods used for cultivation, which have remained the same for many years. The vines are planted on sloped land with good drainage, supported by wooden stakes, and shaded from the sun in their first three years. Farmers use natural fertilizers and avoid chemicals. From June to December, they work the soil to ensure water reaches the roots. Visitors can see every part of the process, from planting vines to handpicking ripe peppercorns between February and April. After picking, the peppercorns dry naturally under the sun for three days, keeping their flavor and oils intact.

The Kep Crab Market: A Seafood Paradise

Just a short tuk-tuk ride away is the famous Kep Crab Market, where you can find fresh seafood. The market is lively, with local women catching crabs and negotiating prices with vendors. For the best seafood, pick crabs that feel heavy; locals prefer female crabs with roe for a richer taste. You can ask vendors to cook your crabs right there, usually grilling or stir-frying with little seasoning. You can take them to nearby restaurants on the water. Be sure to try the local favorite: Kep crab stir-fried with Kampot pepper, which perfectly combines the region’s key ingredients. The sweet crab meat and aromatic pepper showcase Cambodian coastal cooking.

Other Local Delicacies

While Kampot pepper and Kep crab are highlights, the area also has many other delicious dishes:

• Fresh Grilled Seafood: Beyond crabs, you can find prawns, squid, and fish, often grilled over open flames and served with simple dipping sauces.
• Kampot Fish Amok: This traditional dish features local fish cooked in coconut milk and Cambodian spice paste, steamed in banana leaves.
• Lok Lak: A popular beef dish seasoned with Kampot pepper, served with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and a lime-pepper sauce.
• Sugar Cane Juice: Freshly pressed sugar cane juice is a sweet drink that complements spicy dishes.
• Durian: For those ready to try something new, Kampot and Kep markets have fresh durian, a fruit known for its strong smell and creamy flavor.

The best way to enjoy local food is to follow the locals. Many gather in beach huts, take off their shoes, and spend hours sampling a variety of dishes in a relaxed setting.

Where to Stay in Kampot

After a day filled with delightful meals, you’ll discover excellent places to stay in Kampot, a picturesque riverside town renowned for its breathtaking natural scenery and relaxed atmosphere. Whether you seek a cozy guesthouse, a boutique hotel, or a riverside bungalow, Kampot offers a diverse range of accommodations to cater to every budget and preference. Below are some recommendations for private pool villas that will make you feel right at home.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to visit Siem Reap is during the dry season (November to February) when temperatures are comfortable and rainfall is minimal. March to May brings hot weather, while June to October offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds despite occasional showers.

Temple Tips

Purchase your Angkor Pass the day before your planned visit (options include 1-day, 3-day, or 7-day passes). Start early for sunrise at Angkor Wat, then explore Ta Prohm and Bayon before the midday heat. Consider hiring a knowledgeable guide for deeper insights into Khmer history.

Cultural Etiquette

The post Planning Your Perfect Siem Reap Getaway: Essential Tips for a Memorable Stay at StayNature appeared first on StayNature Group.

When planning your visit to Siem Reap, most travelers automatically think of the dry season. But those in the know understand that Cambodia’s “green season” (May to October) offers a completely different—and often more rewarding—experience of this ancient wonder. Here’s why you should consider visiting Siem Reap during the green season and why StayNature is your perfect accommodation partner for this magical time.

Lush Landscapes Transform the Angkor Experience

During the green season, Siem Reap transforms into a verdant paradise. The ancient temples of Angkor stand majestically against backdrops of vibrant emerald foliage and reflect perfectly in water-filled moats and reservoirs. The contrast between the weathered stone structures and the fresh greenery creates breathtaking photo opportunities that simply don’t exist during the dry months.

At StayNature, we’ve designed our properties to complement this natural beauty. Our aptly named “The Jungle Hotel” immerses you in lush greenery right in the heart of Siem Reap, creating a seamless transition between your temple explorations and your accommodation experience.

Escape the Crowds, Embrace Authenticity

One of the greatest advantages of green season travel is the significant reduction in tourist numbers. Imagine experiencing the sunrise at Angkor Wat with just a handful of other visitors, or having the freedom to explore Ta Prohm’s tree-entwined ruins at your own pace. The green season offers a more intimate connection with these ancient wonders.

This peaceful atmosphere extends to your stay at StayNature. With fewer tourists in town, our attentive staff can provide more personalized service, from arranging private temple tours to offering insider tips on discovering hidden gems around Siem Reap.

Incredible Value Without Compromising Comfort

The green season brings remarkable value for budget-conscious travelers. Starting from just $40 per night at The Jungle Hotel, you can enjoy premium accommodations at a fraction of high-season prices. Our special offers, like complimentary daily afternoon tea, and discounts on food, drinks and massages, make your Siem Reap adventure even more affordable.

Despite these value prices, we never compromise on quality. All StayNature properties—whether you choose The Urban, The Jungle, The Elephant Hotel, The NATURE Homestay, or Private Pool Villas in Siem Reap or Kep province—maintain our high standards of comfort and service year-round.

Refreshing Relief from the Heat

While brief afternoon showers are common during green season, they bring welcome relief from Cambodia’s heat. The cooler temperatures make temple exploration more comfortable, allowing you to see more without feeling exhausted.

After a day of exploring, return to the refreshing sanctuary of your StayNature accommodation. Take a dip in our swimming pool, enjoy a cooling drink in our garden, or simply relax in your air-conditioned room as you listen to the soothing sound of rain on tropical foliage.

Support Sustainable Tourism

At StayNature, our commitment to eco-friendly, plastic-free accommodations aligns perfectly with green season travel. By visiting during this quieter period, you’re helping to create a more sustainable year-round tourism economy for local communities.

Our properties proudly support local initiatives and sustainable practices. From our eco-friendly amenities to our community engagement programs, staying with us means your visit has a positive impact.

Plan Your Green Season Getaway

The green season in Siem Reap offers a unique perspective on Cambodia’s treasures: lush landscapes, fewer crowds, better value, and comfortable temperatures. At StayNature, we enhance these natural advantages with our thoughtfully designed accommodations, personalized service, and commitment to sustainability.

Book your green season stay at www.staynature.net today and discover why more travelers are falling in love with Siem Reap’s emerald transformation.

Exploring the countryside: biking tours and floating village visits

Escape the city and venture into the picturesque countryside surrounding Siem Reap. Rent a bicycle and embark on a cycling tour to discover the rural landscapes, lush rice paddies, and charming villages. Explore the hidden trails and interact with friendly locals along the way.
