What our travellers think of their stay
Battambang is a typical Khmer town, with beautiful colonial architecture and strong historical heritage, closely tied to the Khmer Rouge.
My suggestion
Battambang is a great destination for families! Kayaking, the bamboo train, circus performances, etc.
A peaceful town on the banks of the Sangker River, to visit especially for the surrounding countryside.
My suggestion
If you come from Siem Reap, take the boat. The crossing is long (from 6 to 10 hours) but beautiful. To visit the outskirts of Battambang, rent a tuk tuk, because the signposts are scarce.
A little quiet town located south of Lake Tonlé Sap.
My suggestion
Go from Siem Reap to Battambang by boat. Beware, the advertised time is never the actual time; it is longer, but you won't be disappointed. Beware of the heat if you stay on the deck.

Refreshing Sen Monorom, perched on its plateau...
The plateau where Sen Monorom is located is about 3000 feet above sea level, making it a cool region for Cambodia. The climate plays a particularly important role and you'll need to consider it in your travel plans. The rainy season makes access to the town complicated because of landslides. As for winter, don't forget your fleece, because it gets cold at night!
