My top three sightseeing destinations included the bamboo railway, the Phare Ponleu Selpak: Circus, and the Battambang Provincial Museum. Find out why I didn’t do any.

Want to do a cookery class in Battambang? We did a class at The Nary Kitchen, and mastered the art of Amok, Green Mango Salad, and Spring Rolls.

If you’re planning a visit to Battambang, Bric-a-Brac would be my number one recommendation for overnight accommodation. Not just for the location, setting, and design aesthetic, but for the charming hosts who exemplify the “customer service is king philosophy.
