In contrast to the bustling hubs of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, Battambang is an unspoilt city which allows the visitor a glimpse of real Cambodian life. Set on the Sangker River, the town consists of a series of sleepy streets which offer a range of small shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Battambang is a safe place in which to walk or cycle where the visitor can happily while away a few hours absorbing local sights and sounds. There is little nightlife although some restaurants do offer occasional entertainment.

The area surrounding Battambang is certainly worth exploring. As well as seeing local people practising a range of authentic trades and crafts, the visitor can enjoy local food in a riverside location, discover unspoilt Khmer ruins and Buddhist temples, and ascend a local mountain (on foot or by motorcycle taxi) before marvelling at the vast gathering of bats outside the cave below as dusk approaches.

Located in a region where the Khmer Rouge were active during the Pol Pot era, the visitor to the Battambang area can experience the moving memorial at the Well of Shadows and learn at first-hand how the ordinary Cambodians suffered and survived during this period.

No visit to the city would be complete without a trip on the ‘Bamboo Train’, an entertaining journey through the local countryside where the traveller sits on a bamboo platform and is propelled along the old railway track. A step back in time which reflects the relaxed and gentle atmosphere of the whole city.

Perfect hotel. Not easy to find a so good hotel in Cambodia.

I love this resort. Great staff and great service, clean, luscious greens, well maintained property, and amazing Khmer food. I couldn't bring myself to give it a five star because of the loud music from nearby, sometimes well into the night.

Lovely tranquil location just outside town. We stayed 4 nights in a comfortable garden room. Good restaurant on site with many fresh ingredients from their own garden. The chicken wrap and also the green garden salad were particularly good. Great staff. Good value too. Highly recommended. Photo is view from restaurant.

A wonderful place to stay with a pond, rice paddies and a vegetable garden. A bit outside the city centre but worth every mile (Tuk-tuk to town less than 10 mins.) Good breakfast and dinner next to an inviting pool. Very friendly staff. We had a very informative and entertaining day to discover Battambang with our driver Mr. Sam. To be commended.

Amazing value for money and a lovely little resort. Food was great, staff were really friendly and accommodating, and the full day tuk tuk tour they organised was top notch (can't remember the driver's name but he really made our day!)
