Boat Trip from Hell
The highly recommended boat trip from Siem Reap to Battambang was a fun experience, if your idea of pleasure is nine hours of Shiatsu massage in a confined space. At $22 each, it was an absolute bargain (local price: less than $2, average monthly salary: $65).
The day started early: Up at 5.30 to be ready for a potential 6 am pick-up. By 6 …
Riding the Bamboo Train
A change from the usual tuk tuk tours and a welcome bit of exercise with a bike ride around the Battambang countryside. Still no respite for the bum though. Our helpful Dutch host, Jan, had designed a route that took in various local attractions and was not too arduous.
The bikes were in dire need of a bit of TLC and needed to be treated with …
Von skurrilen Verkehrsmitteln und lovely people
... Die Fahrgäste nehmen auf der Platte Platz und los geht die wilde Fahrt. 40Km/h können die Züge erreichen und das fühlt sich dann fast ein bisschen wie fliegen an.

The stage is very small, but they were doing all kinds of things that wowed the audience.

“An Oasis in Battambang”
Reviewed Jun 18, 2012
Battambang Resort is truly an oasis in the Battambang countryside. Pretty garden landscaping, nice bungalow-style rooms, fantastic pool, sumptuous breakfasts and best of all: a friendly welcome. Thank you Jan and Phary for helping us quickly forget the horrors of the Siem Reap - Battambang boat trip! Highly recommend doing Jan's cycle tour via the Bamboo Train.
