What Is an Ox Cart Ride?

The Ox Cart Ride is a traditional form of rural transport, still used in some Cambodian villages today. With a friendly local guide leading the way, you’ll hop aboard a hand-crafted wooden cart pulled by two oxen and slowly glide through breathtaking farmland, past lotus ponds, and waving farmers at work.

It’s ideal for all ages—especially families and couples looking for a unique, slow-paced cultural experience.

What You’ll Experience

• Ride through real villages untouched by tourism

• Watch daily life unfold: farmers tending fields, children playing, monks collecting alms

• Soak up the scenery: rice paddies, water buffalo, lotus ponds, sugar palm trees

• Connect with locals: some rides include visits to a family home or school

• Perfect photo ops: golden hour light, colorful countryside, and rustic charm

What to Bring

To enjoy the ride comfortably, pack light and smart:

• Hat or cap (shade is limited)

• Sunglasses & sunscreen

• Comfortable clothes (loose-fitting and breathable)

• Camera or phone for photos

Why It’s a Must-Do
