Pailin province is known for its precious stones, and more locally it's known for its peacocks. It is the only place in Cambodia where peacocks live. The Peacock of Pailin Dance is a courting scene between a peacock and a peahen and it is said that this dance brings happiness and prosperity to the villagers.
Here at Koulen Restaurant, we have professionally trained dancers that perform The Peacock of Pailin Dance nightly at our restaurant in Siem Reap.
