Despite a booming tourism industry, Siem Reap province remains one of the poorest in Cambodia with negligible amounts of economic prosperity reaching those in the countryside. Jasmine Lodge has attempted to rectify this where possible with its ‘pro-poor’ employment, tour and food policies. Kunn employs eight permanent members of staff (6 general, 1cook and 1 laundry) and all have been recruited from villages outside of Siem Reap (Kunn: “Tourism does not reach there”). All eight employees receive accommodation and training, and can go to school locally. They also receive $40 per month in salary. These staff benefit from on-the-job English language training, through interaction with guests, as they go along.

He also shared his knowledge on the tourist attractions there, recommending to us where are the good places to visit besides Angkor Wat.in additions to a cosy roof top restaurant with a nice breeze, free pool table and Grilled Barbecue, Internet and Wifi internet access with your own laptop and a travel informations desk, Mr kunn has years of expertise with tourists and a lot of information on Angkor Wat temple, guides and the price of transportations.
