TOKAE

Notre premier voyage au Cambodge en aout 2015 hors des sentiers battus et aux antipodes du tourisme de masse avec Tokae et nos accompagnateurs Marie et Fabrice , une belge et un français tombés amoureux de ce pays et qui nous ont fait découvrir le Cambodge "autrement"
Au fil des transports locaux : tuk tuk , moto, barque découverte d'un autre monde
Phnom penh et son agitation,treck et bivouac en jungle, plaine des buffles, plantations de riz et de café, île du lapin, cours de cuisine avec un chef Kmer' partage de la vie au quotidien d'une famille, cirque hors du temps, les temples d'Angkor et leur magie et bien d'autres paysages et d'autres rencontres.... Immersion complète dans ce pays avec Tokae !!!!
A cours de mots pour exprimer tous les sentiments ressentis : explosion des yeux de la tête et du coeur !!!
Début 2016 en recherche d'une nouvelle destination de voyage , nous n'avons pas trouvé l'équivalent de Tokae :) la barre était trop haute :) et nous avons décidé de repartir au Cambodge ...
Cette année nous avons parcouru l'autre partiie du pays avec David comme accompagnateur qui parle couramment le Kmer : départ de Siem Reap ,village sur pilotis , temples de Roluos, Koh Ker ,Preah Vihear, descente du Mekong en VTT Kayak, île de Koh Phdao avec nuit chez l'habitant, dauphins d'eau douce, treck au Mondolkiri, plaine des éléphants, cascades et plantation de café et là encore j'en oublie certainement...
Tokae c'est "l'aventure servie sur un plateau ", l'équipe prend en charge toute la logistique et il nous reste que le plaisir de profiter des magnifiques paysages ainsi que de la gentiillesse et des sourires des Cambodgiens :)
A l'écoute des voyageurs l'équipe Tokae sait s'adaper à nos personnalités , nos envies et notre budget pour nous proposer un voyage sur mesure !!
Alors n'hésitez plus , ne passez pas à côté de Tokae et du Cambodge car le bonheur vous y attend !!

The exercise was not easy. I had gone to Cambodia at the beginning of the 90's and I wanted to come back family with a teenagers-club and a pre-columbian teenagers-club. Fabrice have managed to each of us by choosing the right place for scenery, various activities and the good pace. It has allowed us to take beautiful meetings but also of us (Re) discover of the others. Gràce with him I could find emotions remained intact despite all this time.
We returned with magical memories head and the heart.
A huge thank you with Tokae and Fabrice you.

The Tokae team is simply super! Fabrice and Gilles are in love with Cambodia, curious, funny, available and has always managed to give us precious advice that allowed us to meet through its beautiful landscapes the population so nice and friendly of this beautiful country and to go beyond the beaten track! However koon! E & JY

We take a trip two weeks in Cambodia horse over at the end of December 2014 and the beginning of January 2015. We appreciate Asia particularly at that time


In our travels, we like to be able to combine the contact with the population to understand their lives on a daily basis, and visit the historical sites to understand the history of the country.
In addition we like a mix of life to the daily newspaper in the population and comfort for our hotels.
We had our course according to your various readings on the country and we wanted a custom-made accompaniment on site.

For our accompaniment, having read many things on the Internet, we requested from several guides their suggestions.
After several offices by e-mail, we opted for TOKAE, which quickly understand our request and custom-made offered to us, according to your tastes.
We were in line on the course: Phnom Pehn- Kampong Chhnang- Battambang- Siem Reap and quarter- Sianouk city and return Phnom Pehn.
Prices are reasonable what was not the case a recommendation which had been made to us by relatives.

As we arrived on site, what is necessary was done by TOKAE for our reception. Our guide came to our meeting and put a scheduled mobile mobile phone, with layout, need to call

As for the next day, we went from Phnom Pehn to Kampong Chhnang by taxi. Small provincial town, very linked to fishing on the meandering lake Tonle ''real inland sea of Cambodia.
Our guide us live fish market in the evening with the return of fishing. Surprising for the Europeans, to discover….

De Kampong Chhnang we left the following day for Battambang. There, we did not follow the guides, but the visit of several craftsmen, all Tuk-Tuk ride. Interesting super visit where it is seen that some live to make the same simple thing evening in the morning, 365 days a year, just enough to feed themselves… there was one that made rice pancakes, another dried bananas, one of the sugar palm tree, one of the incense sticks and in a larger factory, braziers. Exceptional division of the life of these people, excellent choice of our guide! We loved these moments of meeting and appreciated human values of the Cambodian.

The next day, on the advice of our guide, we took cooking classes with a chef restaurateur, a little " militaire" , speaking French, who made us tour market (splendid) in the morning to buy all the ingredients. It was excellent and we could remake these recipes from, by supplying us in an Asian supermarket.
It was a surprise TOKAE and we could appreciated by these different touches of pleasures (market, preparation and tasting!!)

The day according to, we joined Siem Reap where we spent 3 days.

That temples… We visited the magnificent (such as Banteay Srei pink sandstone) and others very curious (including Your Prohm buried under the cheese), our Guide has managed to make the best sorting and, despite a detour, to meet our request for discovery of Banteay Srei.
We particularly enjoyed the 2 highlights that we made live our guide in this region:
The best, for us, is the sunrise from the top of Angkor Wat… this silence in a temple of almost 10 centuries… the birdsong… the beauty of the places that points gently in the light of the alivi, unforgettable!
Departure of very good hour tuk tuk, freshness, this magical moment of the temple, then two hours later, a superb breakfast beside the road… eggs, rice, the smile of Cambodian still etc… Thank you still Fabrice!

and still… the visit by boat from the village on stilts Kampong Phluk, surprising, magic, amazing…
During our stay, Fabrice recommended us for the choice of restaurants in order to treat us with local cuisine, to make us discover unusual places to refresh us and it was each time a success.

We had decided to be autonomous for the end of our trip and we strolled in Phnom Pehn, we like to cross the life of the inhabitants of the countries that we discover. Les Cambodgiens are welcoming and always pleasant.
TOKAE had recommended us all the same the must-see sites of Phnom Pehn.
Cambodia is very poor, people very friendly and charming. You leave with lessons of life.

We thank Fabrice for its smile, his sympathy and to have made us share his passion to this beautiful country, and all the people with whom we shared these pleasant moments.

I was part without precise program, especially a crazy desire to make me rock by meetings and landscapes and nearest everything possible to authentic Cambodia! Tokae offered everything to me precedes passion for this country! Thank you for these unique moments…
