IKTT Village and workshops
A textile-making village associated with IKTT’s work on weaving, natural materials and skills transmission.
Why it matters
IKTT’s village is identified at Chob Saom in Angkor Thom district. Its published project connects textile work with the cultivation and renewal of materials used in production. It is a place of work and residence, not merely a sequence of tourist demonstrations. A visitor interested in process should explain the subject they want to understand and let the host confirm which parts of village activity are appropriate to see.
A visit that respects the working day
Reserve through IKTT and confirm the exact meeting point. Do not assume that a city-shop address leads to the village, or that the district name places the workshop beside Angkor Thom’s temples. Ask before photographing workers, entering a workspace or approaching residential areas. A useful visit concentrates on an agreed process and leaves people able to continue their work. Check which practical activities are available for your date rather than relying on an old tour description.
