The Khmer noodle served in Preah Dak is most likely Nom Banh Chok (sometimes spelled Nom Banh Chok or Num Banh Chok) is the best in Cambodia. Many families in Preah Dak still make the rice noodles using time-honored techniques, potentially involving soaking, grinding, and steaming the rice batter. An afternoon of indulging elephants. In the foothills of Kulen Mountain, lies the Bos Thom Community Forest, 1100 acres of protected forest inhabited by the 14 elephants of Angkor. For 22 years, these elephants have given rides to visitors in the temples of the world heritage site. Today, they roam free in their natural habitat and are living testimony of a changing world. From preparing healthy snacks to a walk through the forest and watching them roll in the mud, this experience is a good way to learn more about how to pamper these amazing creatures and treat them to their version of a good time.
