Loved the greeting by Maddy, the space, the house, the new paintings. I wish the large paintings would be la little more affordable! But I heard people fight to get them. Definitely visiting Theam's House next time I am in Siem Reap! More

Our guide hadn't even heard of this place, but I learned about it through Trip Adivsor. What a great find! If you like local arts and don't mind spending a bit more for quality work, then this is the place for you. We brought home several gifts for family, but wound up keeping the fun colored elephants for our own... More

If you like Artisans d'Angkor and Senteurs, you'll love Theam's House! It may be small but the decor is really nice, a great selection of good quality, more exclusive art pieces at reasonable prices. Maddy Lim (sister of Theam) made our visit interesting, educational and very very pleasant. More

We had high expectation after reading the great review, but find it over-rated. The house is nice, but that is the artist's house. Gallery is small and not many variety of art pieces. Px is abt the same as artisan, but made by juniors learning the craft. More

"Theam's House" is an art studio of the Cambodian artist 'Theam' who for many years was the Artistic Director of Artisans' D'Angkor. Built with great care, the beautiful house and garden hold an unique private collection alongside products conceived and created on site. Once we arrived, Maddy Lim the wonderful co-ordinator welcome us at the entrance and guided us through... More

My friend and I were already stirred by the kindness of Cambodian people (definitely the most pleasant Asian country), but our last stop in Theam's House before leaving Siem Reap made us regretting not to stay longer (...and loaded our luggages down too!). We found there unique paintings, sculptures, kitchenware that we didn't find elsewhere, and certainly not in those... More

I spent 4 days at Siem Reap during our travel in Cambodia at the end of July. Siem Reap is a wonderful city and Angkor temples are beautiful. My favorite is Ta Prom, so romantic and pittoresque temple!! He have also visited the dowtown and a lot of shops, like Psa Cha. We found that it was a pity that... More

Hello everybody, If one day you go to Siem Reap, I recommend you a beautiful art-studio called Theam's House. It's a Khmer artist-designer who open his house and his art workshop to visitors. When you arrive at his house, you are marvel at his beautiful house with the tropical garden and when you enter in his gallery, you are marvel... More

We visited this artists house and gallery and where amazed by the quality and creativity of the carvings, paintings and Khmer crafts. All are very unique and of much higher quality than 99% of the stuff you find in the numerous markets around Siem Reap. The founder (Theam) fled Cambodia during the rule of the Khmer Rouge. After living in... More
