February 19, 2022

After an awesome start to Cambodia in Siem Reap, I headed to Battambang next. Battambang is like Siem Reap’s little sister – still a city, but much less touristy and know for its colonial buildings, artsy scene, and humble surrounding villages. Many tourists don’t make it here on their Cambodia itinerary, so there was definitely … More Cambodia days 6-9: Battambang + Cambodia’s dark history + village visits feat. bamboo train and bat cave
