Santuk Silk Farm is a silk farm, located about 11 miles (18km) southeast of Kampong Thom City, Cambodia, near the village of Kakaoh. The farm, established by Vietnam War veteran Bud Gibbons in 2006,[1] demonstrates the process of the silk worm, from its earliest stages, from egg to cocoon.[2] The farm employs some 15 girls to weave the raw silk into thread; they make scarves and other items, sold in the shop on site.[2]
