About Battambang writing from Kratie

Amy and I love Siem Reap but need to get away and see something new. We took a boat to Battambang from Siem Reap. The boat had wooden benches on the side and was packed with about 30 tourists. We all had seats....that was until we started picking up locals on the way. By the third stop some of the westerners began climbing onto the roof of the boat. When everybody was loaded in, if the boat listed hard to the left and my elbow was resting outside it would almost touch water. This was supposed...

Getting to Battambang

We had an eventful journey to Battambang. We traveled from Palm Garden with a young Swiss couple, Philip and Susan, waiting by the roadside for the bus from Bangkok to the border. The 2 hour journey was straightforward until we got to the Thai side at Aranya Prathet. There there was a bit of a scrum as the tuk-tuk drivers vied for custom. P & S went off in one and we settled for what we thought was a trustworthy lady driver. We cruised sedately along, losing P & S in the distance, until we su...

... 8217;ve seen in months, and the circus acts were very well done. We were so impressed we asked if we could stop by the next day to observe some of the classes.

We did go back to Phare Penlau Selpak on Friday afternoon, and it was great to see classes in progress. But that morning we took a class of our own: Khmer (Cambodian) cooking! Our instructor took McNeill, me, and the other five students to the local market where we ...

... of water and a frenchie which got me alarmed at first until I saw the small baguettes on their trays and relaxed, 2 please! As well as the sellers there were a lot of men near the boat who, before our arrival, were doing not a lot. As our minivan stopped, doors were opened, bags grabbed and they were off. Followed my bag onto the boat and found a decent seat, It was then that I felt the looming presence of a Cambodian man near my precious seat. I looked at him ...

A slice of Battambang

... in Asia is made of bamboo. It hurtles along at about 15 miles an hour which might not sound very fast but seeing as the rails are connected by a combination of century old rivets and luck. It's just like Alton Towers, alright you're not going as fast or around quite so many bends but that feeling of impending death in the pit of your stomach is just the same. Once I got over that feeling though it was a beautiful ride, through the paddy fields, past more buffalo, naked ...

... did. He said the cities were empty everyone went back to the farms and there was no food. At Phnom Sampeou they imprisoned and tortured people then dropped them into the caves to save of bullets, when they were ready to kill them. It's only 10 metres down, some survived the fall, but didn't bother to climb out at they knew they would be killed at the top. When the main cave became full ...

... Vietnamees dorp. Er is bij Siem Reap een gigantisch groot meer waarop veel mensen wonen. De waterstand van het meer verschilt tussen het natte en droge seizoen zon 12 meter.Nu,in he droge seizoen, is het water maar een paar meter diep en erg bruin van de modder. Tijdens de moesson staat een heel bos onder water. Als de Maas nog eens uitkomt kunnen we de huizen in Itteren misschien ook op vlotten bouwen! Alles kan hebben wij nu gezien.. We hebben gekeken hoe die mensen ...

We're tourers not tourists - Into Cambodia

... First impressions are bad. Pot bellied middle aged German men and their hilda wives amble into big hotels - Chris sighs. But despite the herren und damen it's a quiet and sunny spot in which to spend a few lazy days and hazy happy hours. Next stop on the Vietnamese conveyor belt is Saigon. Arrival's by bus but could easily have been boat. The region is subjected to hours of torrential rain and some parts are soon under several feet of water. In Hanoi one can feel the culture ...
