Between 2018 and 2024, Kimlay stood at the forefront of sustainable agriculture, managing the first organic-certified pepper farm in the region. However, his true heritage is found in the kitchen. Born into a family of restaurateurs from Siem Reap, Kimlay’s culinary DNA is second to none. This talent clearly runs in the family: his sister recently made waves on the national stage, finishing in the Top 10 of MasterChef Cambodia 2025.
With a wealth of experience in community development and professional tourism, Kimlay is the heart of our hospitality. Having spent years managing volunteer programs and guiding international guests, Kimlay brings a deep local perspective to every journey.
At Secret Lake House, Kimlay blends his love for the land with a passion for authentic Cambodian flavors, ensuring every guest feels right at home.
