MARK DAINTY

Mark Dainty is the founder of the Snakebite Relief Program, a Cambodian initiative focused on improving snakebite awareness, prevention, and emergency response in vulnerable communities. Based in Siem Reap, Mark combines more than two decades of experience working with wildlife and venomous snakes with a strong commitment to public health education and community outreach.

Originally from the United Kingdom, Mark began working professionally with wildlife in 2002 across several zoological institutions before relocating to Cambodia in 2018 to support conservation and biodiversity programs. He is currently the Senior Animal Curator at Angkor Wildlife and Aquarium, where his work includes wildlife conservation, animal care, and public education.

Throughout his career, Mark has specialised in venomous snakes from Southeast Asia and Africa, with extensive experience handling vipers, cobras, and other medically significant species. His work has included research, snake rescue, public education, and the safe management of dangerous wildlife in both rural and urban environments.

In 2017, Mark survived a life-threatening King Cobra bite sustained while assisting with venom research. The incident resulted in a week in intensive care and the amputation of his right index finger. The experience profoundly changed his perspective, highlighting not only the medical impact of snakebite, but also the long-term physical, emotional, and financial consequences faced by victims and their families.

After arriving in Cambodia, Mark became increasingly aware of the significant burden snakebite places on rural communities, particularly where access to education, emergency care, and treatment can be limited. Witnessing these challenges firsthand inspired him to establish the Snakebite Relief Program in 2023.

Today, Mark works closely with local communities, schools, healthcare workers, and organisations across Cambodia to improve snakebite prevention and emergency response knowledge. His work focuses on practical education, community empowerment, and reducing the devastating health impacts of snakebite through awareness, training, and collaboration.

Itinerary
Day and Location Events

Day 1: 31st August 2027

Inclusions: Welcome Drinks

 

Located on the Mekong River in the vibrant Post Office Square district, TRIBE Phnom Penh is surrounded by French colonial heritage and iconic New Khmer architecture, just a short stroll from the city’s most famous landmarks.

Take some time to unwind, freshen up, and settle into your room or take a short stroll around the neighborhood to get your bearings. For some light local exploration, consider visiting the nearby Independence Monument or Wat Botum if you’re up for a relaxed walk.

5pm to 6pm: Enjoy this opportunity to mingle with the other attendees at the complimentary drinks and registration function.

Day 2: 1st September 2027

Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch and cocktail tour

CPD Hours: 6 Face to Face

9am: S21 Detention Centre

After breakfast, the tour will begin with a visit to S21 at Tuol Sleng, or Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. S21 is one of the most notorious sites associated with the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. Located in Phnom Penh, it was originally a high school but was converted into a prison and interrogation center by the Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1979, under the leadership of Pol Pot.

Please be aware that the exhibits are, by their very nature, both graphic and disturbing, highlighting the atrocities committed against an entire population during one of the most terrifying periods in Cambodia’s history.

12pm to 1pm: Lunch

1pm to 4pm: Killing Fields of Choeung Ek.

After lunch we will continue the tour  with a visit to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, located about 15 kilometers south of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Choeung Ek is one of the most infamous sites related to the Khmer Rouge regime, which ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. During this time, the regime, led by Pol Pot, sought to establish a radical agrarian socialist society, but their efforts resulted in mass violence and widespread human rights abuses.

The Killing Fields became the site of mass executions, where thousands of innocent men, women, and children were killed. It is believed that around 17,000 people were taken to Choeung Ek from the infamous S-21 Prison (Tuol Sleng) for execution and burial in mass graves. Many of these victims were accused of being enemies of the Khmer Rouge, but often, the reasons for their execution were arbitrary.

BOUTIQUE COCKTAIL TOUR – 6pm to 11pm

This evening, your expat guide will meet you at your hotel for a night-time exploration of some of Phnom Penh’s most prestigious cocktail bars. Travel through the city by tuk tuk, taking in the energy and atmosphere of Cambodia’s capital while enjoying expertly crafted cocktails and artful mixology.

Traditional medicine in Cambodia also known as complementary and alternative medicine, is a practice that has been used for centuries to treat various ailments in different parts of the world.

9am to 11am: Mark Dainty – Snakebite Relief Program

Snakebite remains a significant yet under-reported public health issue in Cambodia, particularly in rural farming communities where women and children are most at risk. During the rainy season, women working in agricultural fields and children playing outdoors are frequently exposed to venomous snakes, often with limited access to timely medical care.

While many snakebites are survivable with appropriate treatment, delays in reaching hospital care, reliance on traditional remedies, and limited community education can lead to devastating outcomes including disability, loss of livelihood, and death.

This is a valuable opportunity to hear from Mark Dainty, founder of the Snakebite Relief Program, who works extensively across Cambodia educating communities on snakebite prevention, emergency response, and improving awareness around this critical public health issue.

Following the presentation, the afternoon will be at leisure. Guests who wish may choose to visit Angkor Wildlife and Aquarium, where Mark serves as Senior Animal Curator.

We will return to your hotel in time for breakfast.

After breakfast we will start with a visit to Angkor Thom, the ancient royal city of the Khmer Empire with its centerpiece; the Bayon temple.

Although it may look like a shapeless mass of stone, further scrutiny reveals towers with enigmatic faces of former King Jayavarman VII. Continue to the Terrace of the Elephants, which served as a platform from where the King could welcome back his victorious army and the Terrace of the Leper King, which holds perfect carvings winding along a narrow passageway that leads to the Baphuon complex.

Next head to the picturesque Ta Prohm. This temple is considered to be Angkor’s most beautiful structure and is overgrown with fig trees, giving a haunting yet exotic atmosphere. The magnificent roots of the trees have merged over the centuries with the temple’s huge stone blocks, emphasizing a ‘forgotten city’ feeling.

Enjoy Lunch at a local restaurant nearby Srah Srang lake before continuing to Angkor wat. In the afternoon, visit the most famous of all the temples on the Angkor plain: Angkor Wat.

The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture.

HANOI – HIGHLIGHTS CITY VISIT & CYCLO RIDE

Lying in the heart of the Red River Delta, the Vietnamese capital city of Hanoi blends the old world charm with the dynamism of a rising Asian city. Its legacy as a former French colonial city is still evident from the French-inspired features – lakes and parks, colonial architecture and broad tree-lined boulevards – that still dot the present cityscapes. The city has undergone dramatic transformation over the last thirty years and is now seeing a burgeoning population paralleled by rising motorbike ownership, a rapidly expanding retail sector and a flourishing art scene. Yet when compared with Ho Chi Minh City, the economic powerhouse in the south, Hanoi still retains a romantic and elegant atmosphere.

Set off early in the morning for a day guided tour of Hanoi. Begin with a visit to West Lake to admire the sixth-century Tran Quoc Buddhist Pagoda.
Next come to visit the historic Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, an imposing monument lavishly built using marble and granite, and where the preserved body of “Uncle Ho” resides.

Behind the Mausoleum, you can see Ho Chi Minh’s House. The simple house where Ho Chi Minh lived and worked from 1954 until 1969 is made of wood and enjoyed a tranquil setting, with a view of a lotus pond. Ho Chi Minh’s belongings are on display and you can walk up the steps of
his house to see his bedroom.

Drive to visit the serene Museum of Ethnology where you observe Vietnam’s diverse culture through the Museum’s unique presentation of artefacts and dress used in daily life.

The Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university. Constructed in 1070, the gardens and wellpreserved architecture offer a relaxing glimpse into Vietnam’s past.

Enjoy included lunch at local social restaurant KOTO – Know One Teach One.

Have about an hour tour by cyclo, a chauffeur-pedalled tricycle, through Hanoi’s Old Quarter, also known as “36 streets”. This bustling area of narrow streets and alleys is home to literally thousands of small businesses and shopkeepers. It’s a great place to explore, especially by cyclo, with plenty of photo opportunities all around you.

Day 3: 12th September 2027

Inclusions: Breakfast & Lunch

HANOI – HOA LU/ NINH BINH EXCURSION

Depart your hotel this morning on about 70km – 2.5 hours drive through rural northern Vietnam to the site of Vietnam’s first capital, Hoa Lu. The ravages of time have destroyed the ancient citadel but some vestiges including King Dinh and King Le worship temples still stand to this day among the rice paddies and are a worthwhile visit to get a glimpse of the ancient Vietnamese past.

Followed by an included lunch at a local restaurant.

Then continue on boarding a sampan and enjoy a cruise of Trang An. Limestone hills surround a peaceful river which passes through a series of caves (one which takes 15-minutes to pass through in darkness). An ‘eco tourism’ area, the only interruptions here are the sound of birds and the gentle paddle of the oar upon the crystal clear river.

OR (Choose boat cruise 01 place at Trang An or Tam Coc for day tour visit)

Boarding a sampan and it will take you through rice paddies to grottoes of the sacred Tam Coc Caves. As the sampan gently slices through the water, notice the enormous limestone karsts jutting out from the green rice fields giving rise to Hoa Lu’s other name, “Halong on Land”.

Should you feel adventurous, climb up to Bich Dong Pagoda, which offers a beautiful scenic view of the surrounding countryside.

Leave Ninh Binh and arrive Hanoi late in the afternoon.
