Vintage military jeeps, once used for warfare, are now a popular attraction for tourists exploring the scenic landscapes and ancient temples of Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Lim Kanha, sales manager at adventurescambodia.com, shared that the venture began in 2011 with just one jeep and has since expanded to 14, sourced from various locations.
The jeeps offer an adventurous way to visit local attractions like Preah Dak village in Banteay Srei district, supporting the local economy by increasing sales of souvenirs, traditional foods, and drinks.
Tourists get to experience the village's preserved culture and lifestyle, including traditional crafts like silk flower making from local silkworms. In addition to village tours, guests can explore the Angkor Archaeological Park and natural wonders like the sandstone caves of Kulen Mountain.
The company, founded by Lee Akim, prides itself on providing a unique and satisfying experience, with 90% of its clientele being Western tourists.
The service includes knowledgeable drivers and a food package, offering visits to off-the-beaten-path locations that leave visitors with memorable experiences and positive feedback.
