House of Peace Association

Siem Reap


The creation of leather sbei tuoi (shadow puppets) is a traditional Khmer art form, and the figures make a memorable souvenir. Characters include gods and demons from the Reamker, as well as exquisite elephants with intricate armour. The House of Peace Association, about 4km down NH6 on the way to the airport, makes and sells these puppets.

Small pieces start at US$15, while larger ones can be as much as US$150.
