Textiles & Craft of Cambodia & Laos - The beautiful destinations of Cambodia and Laos are well known for the skill of their silk weavers and the innovative designs and vibrant colours of their fabrics, embroideries and weavings.
A unique 15 night journey conducted by 2WorldTours gives participants the opportunity to see first-hand how beautiful silks and crafts are made across Cambodia and Laos. The tours have been specifically designed for women who have a passion for craft and beautiful things and provide a fantastic opportunity to make new friends and share this unique experience with like-minded travellers of all ages.
