I arrived in Phnom Penh in September 2015 using a one way airplane ticket from Canada. I wanted to stay one year and I am still here in March 2017.
I am working on an art project with students of Seametrey Children Village in Tonle Bati and can’t leave the students and the place. It is such a pleasure to be with them and to be in this healthy environment.
Beside the academic, the school has an interesting creative center where they can express themselves through visual arts and drama. A little bit farther on the campus they have music class.
The sports curriculum offers a variety sports that is catching the interest of each student. These activities are open to the public during weekends. I will describe them as your point of view so you can picture yourselves being there.
You want a day out breathing fresh air? Tonle Bati located at only 30 km from Phnom Penh is the place to go. To me it is the greatest leisure centre of Cambodia ! It is full of fun activities into one big location.
I am sure, this amazing place in the nature will stunned you. It is the ideal place for family reunions, team reunions, retreats, school fieldtrips, birthdays, weddings, graduations, parties, picnic or just for a fun day with friends. You name it !
It is called Seametrey Leisure Centre and it is new. It is located into the part of Tonle Bati that is in Kandal province. It is ready now for people that want to enjoy to be in the nature. The activities over there make it fun to be outside.
Who likes to play volley ball ? or basketball ? You want to try skateboard ? They have the equipment ! How about jumping happily on their trampoline ?
Hey sport teams, you can organize any tournament with other sport teams. Nice football field, volley ball and basket ball courts, swimming pool big enough to play water polo, etc.
Do you honestly want to have more fun ? Don’t forget your bathing suit ! 3 stunning swimming pools with filtered salted water every day. One 20m long, another one 10m long, they also have a young children swimming pool of 5m diameter.
Parents, if you are sick and tired do not find a dream place for your young children, their playground will delight them and they have “Desert Um Said” where they can climb a real sand dune.
Seametrey Leisure Centre has a very large terrace in front of the lake for you. You can enjoy a sunbath if you like.
They offer 3 meals per day at their restaurant and the cook is good too! They have a fire oven pizza and a BBQ as well.
They are so close to Wat Kos-Sokrom pagoda.
You even won’t have time to go to Phnom Tamao wildlife reserve which is at only 6 km from there.
Imagine all the fun you can have and loving every minute of it !
It is good to know that this business is 100% Khmer and the profit helps keep the school on the campus running.
You can come by car, truck, van, tuk tuk, cyclo, bicycle or you can even walk. They have their own bus too!
Their outstanding team is welcoming you, your family and your friends !
P.S. Hey Cambodian and expats start beautifully Khmer New year at Tonle Bati with them. So, take a break, this is for you! I have a warning though: do not go somewhere else on Sunday April 2nd . Get their cheap, really cheap amazing day dream worth much more money just for you. Mark it on your calendar: April 2nd, 2017. Don’t worry if you missed it SeametreyLeisureCenter.org is open to the public all weekends at the price of $ 5. for Non Khmer and $ 2.50 for Khmer.
