Battambang Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Battambang ist die zweitgroesste Stadt in Kambodscha, hat aber nicht allzu viel zu bieten. Wenigstens gibt es hier super Hotelzimmer fuer fast kein Geld. Eigentlich wollten wir in Battambang hauptsaechlich Troy's (ehemaliger Arbeitskollege von Alex) Familie besuchen. Leider mussten wir rasch feststellen, dass dies nicht ganz so einfach ist. Nach...

As usual there were lots of tuktuk and moto drivers crowding around us the second we left the bus in Battambang. We quickly grabbed our bags and ran into the bus company's office and then kept on going down the street. There were not very many Western tourists on this bus so it was surprisingly easy to shake the drivers. We could see two hotels ...

Rose: A sad goodbye to Siem Reap. We set off early in an overcrowded minibus to catch the boat to Battanbang. Driving out of Siem Reap you get a sense that this is more like the real Cambodia - more rural. Houses perch precariously on stilts - now the waters are low with the Tonle Sap lake occupying some 250 sq km. In the rainy season it swells ...

Left Siem Riep for Battembang on a very bumby bus ride on the " dancing road" . I love the way the Asians make things sound romantic, like the hills were created by assending dragons etc.. The reality is the road was not a road it was a dirt track and the driver did an amazing job of keeping the bus out of the huge craters........and sadly accor...

Hey everyone, it's December 15th, and I"m not in Cambodia, but Thailand where I am furiously typing and editing photos for your enjoyment. I just wanted to share something I received from a friend this past week. Some of the Nova Scotia readers of this blog know I had a column with the Halifax Daily News for a while from around June to December ...

Yet another early morning, the 5th in a row. Tonight I must sleep in! by the way, I've really loved reading your comments. I'm not responding on this site, as it takes long enough as is, but have responded to those that asked questions by email. Keep 'em coming! If there is anything you are missing in my commentaries, please let me know (am tryi...

An early start (5am) and pack in Bangkok and short ride to the train station got us there with time to spare for breakfast...waffles. We had stocked up on water and some food before the journey not knowing what to expect of a 6h train ride in 3rd class with no air con or windows. The train itself was fixed wooden benches in an open carridge and ...

James recommended a tour guide to take us round the Angkor ruins as he had also taken his sister when she was travelling. His name was Channy; a small, smiling and extemely polite man who knew pretty much everything about Angkor and the rest of Cambodia and was almost fluent in English, Japanese and French. We had only a few hours sleep but were...

Our main reason for coming here is the scenic water route that you can take down the river to Sieam Reap and Angkor Wat but the town has a charm all of its own. Battambang is the provinical capital of the northwest, an old colonial riverside town and all in all a delightful stop in our tour of Cambodia. Lacking beaches or any major tourist attra...

Hello everyone, and greetings from Siem Reap! I made it safe and sound to Battambang yesterday and although I was only there a short while, it was a great experience. I arrived by bus from Phnom Penh around 1:00 and quickly found myself place to stay by the Stung Sangker River. After a quick walk around, it was quite easy to notice that, althoug...
