Is This Tour Worth It?
This cultural & history activity is highly rated at 5.0/5 across 38 reviews, running 1h 30m from $40.68 per group.
Kun Khmer is most well known for its kicking technique, which generates power from hip rotation rather than snapping the leg. Kun Khmer consists of four types of strikes: punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes. The clinch is used to wear down the opponent. In the clinch, opponents battle for a dominant position for short-range strikes by way of elbows and knees. Cambodian fighters tend to utilize more elbow strikes than other martial arts in the region. In Kun Khmer, more victories come by way of an elbow technique than any other strike.

What sets my tour apart? My tour goes beyond typical sightseeing by combining Phnom Penh’s landmarks with hidden gems, offering travelers a deeper understanding of Cambodia’s history, culture, and daily life. From the Independence Monument and King Norodom Sihanouk Statue to the Royal Palace (exterior view) and National Museum, I share stories of Cambodia’s journey—from independence in 1953 to peace in 1993 and the nation’s growth today. What makes this tour unique is the personal storytelling of a licensed local guide, enriched with visits to a Buddhist monastery, lively alleyways, and vibrant markets like the Central Market and Night Market. Travelers not only see the sights but also experience the city’s resilience, spirituality, and modern vibrancy.
