Why Battambang
- The bamboo train (norry) is a unique Cambodian experience
- Beautiful French colonial architecture along the Sangkae River
- Far fewer tourists than Siem Reap, with a more local feel
Cambodia's second-largest city offers a more authentic, less touristy experience than Siem-Reap. Known for its French colonial architecture, ancient temples, the famous bamboo train, and a thriving arts scene, Battambang is a favorite among travelers seeking the "real" Cambodia without the crowds.
