What to do in Battambang

Sitting quaintly along the Mekong River, Battambang is an artistic town with a curious collection of highlights. Take a stroll or cycle through the town, where French buildings rub shoulders with Angkor-era temples, and art galleries pop out from amongst fantastic street food markets. Enjoy the most unique train ride of your life on the iconic Bamboo Railway or watch a fantastic show of nature at the Bat Cave. A sobering part of any Battambang trip is a visit to the Killing Caves of Phnom Sampeau and Well of Shadows, in memory of the people lost during the Khmer Rouge regime.
