To Battambang by boat

October 31, 2009 ⋅ post a comment

What’s else would you do aside from pay a visit to Cambodia’s magnificent, ancient Angkor Wat? What about Battambang?
Battambang is Cambodia’s second-largest city; it’s the main hub of the Northwest connecting the entire region with Phnom Penh and Thailand.

It’s tiny. Battambang itself has nothing special about it: the food was sub par at best, beggars abound, particularly in the market (this was the first time I had someone stand next to me constantly begging for money for the duration of my meal-make that 3 someones at a table of 6) and it’s a dirty place. It’s the journey there that is quite the experience. A bus from Siem Reap to Battambang costs just over $4 while taking a boat ride costs at least four times as much, but it is worth every penny.
