The trip typically takes about 3 hours via National Road 6 and National Road 5, covering approximately 165 kilometers of well-maintained roads. As you leave the temple town of Siem Reap behind, you will pass through charming rural villages, vast emerald rice paddies, and vibrant local markets.

It is a comfortable, air-conditioned transition from the ancient wonders of Angkor to the colonial charm and creative spirit of Battambang.

A Lovely Day in Battambang

5.00We had a wonderful trip to Battambang! We rode on the bamboo train, explored some temples, and watched bats fly out of a cave during sunset. Yong shared his extensive knowledgeable about the city and Ted made sure we were extremely comfortable throughout the day (by providing cool towels and beverages). Ted also took some photos of us at the various stops. 10/10 would recommend this experience!

5.00We had a great day travelling from Siem Reap to Battambang. Thet picked us up first thing in the morning & drove us to Battambang where we toured the temples, the bamboo train & the caves. Thet made sure we were very comfortable, lots of cold water bottles, wet towels between excursions & he stopped at nice places for drink & bathroom breaks on the long drives. Thet also shared lots of stories about the area whilst we were driving keeping us engaged in the surrounding environment. It was a wonderful day & we met even more lovely Cambodian people in Thet & Vong. Highly recommend! All admission fees covered (except the mountain loft)
Battenbang - history, beauty & bamboo train!

5.00This trip was a great addition to our Cambodia travels. Nice to experience a different city (the city is growing & you can see the investment from the government. The riverside was beautiful & they are working on making it even nicer). The killing cave was a sobbering experience & the additional caves were magnificent. The driver Taet was with us all day, always smiling & telling us about the area. Our guide Vong was very knowledgeable & really helped us understand the history. The bamboo train was sooooo fun! The guys were absolutely lovely & so happy we visited their town. Tourism is their only source of income. Both of their English was excellent too. They provided a delicious lunch with a lakeside view & lots of water throughout the day but take extra cash for ice creams, fizzy drinks & also instead of walking up to 1 temple you can pay $10 USD to get a lift......when it's hot & sweaty we paid for the truck. It's a long day but you could nap at the start & end of needed. We would recommend.
