Silk Island (aka Cambodian River Village)

As noted in separate post we visited this village noted for it's weaving. The looms were located under the homes as this is usually the coolest place to work. Along with the looms we also saw the family's cattle and a grandson having a bath! The last place we visited the loom was mechanized and so they could produce more fabric faster and with more uniform quality. I bought several scarves from the first family we met. As has been the case, the people we meet are so friendly and very willing to have their pictures taken.
