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.
