All about the trip

Spend a half-day exploring the highlights of Battambang. We first visit of French colonial architecture in the city of Battambang where they have started to promote their colonial legacy as a tourism asset, the colonial buildings are no doubt one of the best of Battambang's attractions. We will visit numerous French architecture such as; the Governor's palace, the House of Courts or schools, the shopping arcades, some of the villas still in good condition and used.

We will then take you back to the 11th-century by visiting the temple of Suryavarman I. One of the most visited attractions around Battambang (Wat Ek Phnom). The temple’s construction was ordered by the king himself as his famous ‘temple of the west’, so unusually for a provincial temple, it’s mostly made from the more expensive sandstone rather than cheaper laterite. Wat Ek Phnom still is home to several monks who are housed in a slightly more modern monastery. The huge Buddha image, the lily ponds, and its peaceful location north of Battambang makes this a popular picnic spot for locals.
