Battambang overview

Many people come to Cambodia for the bizarre clashes of culture and in this regard Battambang doesn't disappoint. Visitors to Battambang will be shocked to find that there are, gasp, temples! If your temple senses have not been overloaded already Battambang has several 11th century temples that are a bit different than the ones you probably saw at Angkor Wat. If temples aren't your thing Battambang has three resorts that are growing in popularity due to the beauty of their natural setting. The city of Battambang also has a lot of interesting French architecture, which the French were kind enough to leave behind. Battambang is a convenient way to see one of the lesser visited parts of Cambodia and has a lot of unique cultural opportunities, and being that it is located between the capital and Thailand it can be part of any number of travel itineraries.
