Take the opportunity to learn how to cook an authentic Cambodian dish or two so that you can truly dazzle your friends and relatives with your holiday experience. It will be an experience that you and your guests will never forget.

It is a popular misconception that Cambodian cuisine is a slightly watered down version of Thai or Vietnamese cuisine. In truth, Cambodian cooking has a rich and long history and it is likely that Thai and Vietnamese gastronomy were influenced by it.

All the incidents related to the invasion of Cambodia, has fed into the local cuisine making it an interesting mixture of Indian, Chinese, French and also Thai and Vietnamese influences. Traditional Cambodian cuisine is named after the people of the country and is known as Khmer cuisine. As original recipes evolved over an era where there weren’t any chillies, Khmer cuisine can be milder than most Asian food.

As much as Cambodia is rich in history and religious sights, a recent popular attraction has been the learning of authentic Khmer cooking methods. For this purpose a number of selected institutions run Cambodian Cooking classes, catering to mainly foreign travellers who would like to wow their friends and relations back home with an unusual memento of their vacation.

The cookery classes are conducted by professional chefs who are conversant in English. Participants can choose to indulge in a full day programme or a half day programme. Whilst it is recommended that the full day programme be chosen in order to truly feel the Cambodian culinary experience, it is understood that travellers are usually under time constraints.

Each course however takes participants through the cookery class from scratch. Students are taken to the local market where instructions are given on how to choose the freshest of meats and vegetables. All ingredients are bought then and there as fresh ingredients are the heart and soul of Cambodian cuisine.

Back at the class, students are given their own individual work stations and have to follow the instructions of the chef who guides them through the preparation of the often simple meals. However even the spices used are ground then and there and for most part, it is an experience in itself to have bought the fresh ingredients and having to pound them into a paste with a mortar and pestle.

Travellers looking for a hotel in Siem Reap when visiting Cambodia, may be influenced to choose the Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor as it is a great hotel Siem Reap offers, where the infamous Cambodian cookery classes are held.

Online travel specialists are providing instantaneous information over the web, exactly where typical travel agents have to verify and study travel information. So, holidaymakers are taking advantage of quick travel information, services and also the simplicity of executing everything on the internet and not having to leave the house or office to arrange travel. Now travel fanatics are able to use these web based travel companies to select their very own holiday destinations, stops, routes, dates, and inevitably design their own personal holiday to accommodate their specific requirements

Online travel agents certainly are a common and well-liked channel which travellers are able to place their hotel booking with, because these agents have access to a huge data source of real information regarding the various hotel chains. This makes it much simpler for travellers to check amenities, services and price ranges amongst different hotels. Several online agents can use this database to offer precise room availability and prices to visitors who book on the internet. This essentially leads to an extensive compilation of comprehensive information about various hotels that travellers can certainly gain access to when they visit these internet websites. This actually also generates enhanced levels of competition between the online travel agencies that might negotiate with the hotels for exclusive discounted rates to draw in consumers to book their hotels through their website rather than others.

A normal local travel agent has restricted their customers to people who are nearby who can make it into their office to plan their holiday. This method also lacks convenience for most of us, because these offices have certain hours. Online travel agents can offer services 24 hours a day which is simply a mouse click away

Most web based travel companies will keep a customer user profile where you can tailor-make your options, monitor costs and save preferences to be able to streamline future holiday planning (for instance, you like the aisle seat). You are able to benefit by saving any corporate or membership discount numbers, frequent flyer numbers along with other relevant details to help with quicker and more affordable bookings

Because online travel agents generally lack conventional brick-and-mortar retail stores, the consumer needs to be able to trust that the customer care given will be sufficient. Including quick replies to requests and concerns, open and translucent communication and punctual response of any issues. Also, the simpler the navigation of the online travel agency and also the much more user-friendly the website, the higher quality the customer experience, resulting in a greater consumer sales conversion rate.
