Phnom Krom Eco Resort: A Green Escape
Local Recreation Park & Flower Gardens
Swan Boats, Fishing, & Photos
Base of Phnom Krom Mountain
If you want to see where Siem Reap locals go to relax on the weekends, look no further than Phnom Krom Eco Resort. Located at the base of the famous mountain, this isn't a typical "resort" with room service. Instead, it is a sprawling recreational park filled with flower gardens, waterways, and bamboo huts perfect for a countryside picnic.
Why Locals Love It
The Flower Gardens
The resort is famous for its landscaping. Depending on the season, you'll find fields of yellow cosmos, sunflowers, or lotus. It is a favorite spot for young Khmer couples to take photos.
Swan Boat Rides
For a small fee, you can rent a pedal boat shaped like a giant swan. It’s a fun, relaxing way to get out on the water and enjoy the view of Phnom Krom mountain looming above you.
Bamboo Hut Dining
This is the classic Cambodian countryside experience. You can relax in a private bamboo hut built over the water or in the garden, order some roasted chicken and cold drinks, and just hang out for hours.
Plan Your Visit
The best time to visit is in the late afternoon (around 4:00 PM). The heat of the day has passed, and the "Golden Hour" light hits the flower fields and the mountain perfectly. It's a great stop after visiting the lotus fields nearby.
Combine Your Trip
Since you are already here, why not head up Phnom Krom Mountain for sunset afterward? It's just around the corner!
