Battambang is not only the capital of Battambang Province but also is the 2nd largest city of Cambodia. Since this city does not have the most charming beaches, Angkor Wat or the Royal Palace; it is often overlooked. However, to experience the famous Bamboo train; discover some untouched ancient temples & the most beautiful examples of colonial architecture; see a special circus show and watch the seemingly thousands of bats just before dusk; there will be no other perfect destination than Battambang.
Have you heard of Bamboo Train before? If not, sitting on this special train will be a whole new experience for you. Prepare yourself a water bottle and get ready to have some fun by taking once in a lifetime ride. Do not forget your camera to take some of the stunning photos of the countryside.
It takes around 30mins (12km) from Battambang centre to Phnom Sampeau, you can either take a tuk-tuk or join in a day tour to witness millions of bats flying from the cave and dancing across the sky at the best sunset. Besides, you can explore the temple as well as the Killing Caves where the Khmer Rouge army pushed their victims to the deaths.
Many locals said that it has been not clear when this temple was built and who built this but this temple is used to the worship of Gods. You can take a tuk-tuk from Battambang centre for nearly 1 hour and have to walk up with 358 stairs to visit this special temple and witness the outstanding 360-degree panoramic views which make every step worth it.
