• Battambang - Located just a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Siem Reap, Battambang may not be the most famous tourist spot in Cambodia, but it offers some of the friendliest locals and unique attractions that make it a worthwhile addition to any travel itinerary. This guide to Battambang includes exploring the city’s mythical history, experiencing the renowned bamboo train, and witnessing the breathtaking sight of millions of bats emerging from their cave at twilight.
• Wat Banan Temple - Situated just over 20 kilometers south of Battambang, Phnom Banan is the best-preserved of the remaining Khmer ruins in the area, although it may not compare to Angkor Wat. Visitors must climb 358 steps to explore the site, but the effort is rewarded with stunning views of the winding Sangker River, surrounded by sugar palm trees, rice fields, and lush green forests.
• Phnom Sampeau - This essential visit in Battambang is a natural and historical site located about 12 kilometers from the city. Known as ‘Ship Mountain’ due to its ship-like appearance from afar, the mountain features an active pagoda, sacred shrines, and the Killing Cave, which contains skulls and skeletons from the dark period of the Khmer Rouge regime.
• Killing Caves Of Phnom Sampeau - Found within Phnom Sampeau mountain, these caves are a historical site where the Khmer Rouge executed victims. They were killed at the top of the cave near a daylight shaft or ceiling hole, and their bodies were then thrown into the cave.
• Battambang Bat Caves - Located at the base of Phnom Sampeou mountain, about 11 kilometers from Battambang town, these caves have become a popular tourist attraction. As the sun sets, casting long shadows, the atmosphere becomes lively with local vendors selling snacks and drinks, while visitors eagerly find the best spots to watch the spectacle.
