BATTAMBANG


As one of the leading rice-producing provinces in the country, there is no shortage of beautiful rice fields. It is the connecting point between Phnom Penh and Thailand and is currently a vital link to Cambodia. In the main city of Battambang you will find a very peaceful area due to the fact that it is situated close to the Sangker River. It is a peaceful city to find accommodation, and there is plenty to see in the surrounding countryside as well.


Battambang Bamboo Train

The Battambang Bamboo Train is one of the most fun attractions for tourists. When you board the flat platform which is located on an old rail line you will travel down an 8-9 mile (14 km) track that will travel quite fast at times. There will be a driver who will make stops along the way as you enjoy the scenery and several photo opportunities available. It is not only used by tourists. When you visit the bamboo train you will get a glimpse of how the local people use the train to transport small goods and other items. There is also a resting point where you can stop and get refreshments and souvenirs. After stopping for a refreshing drink and shopping you will continue down the track and pass by rice fields and other parts of the scenic countryside.


Prasat Barsaet Temple

Prasat Barsaet Temple is located on a hill at Ba Set village. Ba Set village is about a 20 minute drive from Battambang City and along with the amazing temple that you find there you will also see a long and deep pond which never dries out through the dry season. This makes rice growing ideal and during the rainy season the water level rises higher than usual.
