Battambang as a tourist destination?

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

head to the lake ( built with slave labor during Pol Pot's time) in the early afternoon and enjoy the calm,than make ur way back before sunset and catch the bats flying out of the caves.
IF u like Prahok, they make it there, Finding it is easy as let ur nose lead u there.
Also make sure you visit the Phare Ponleu Selpak one evening

We may not be talking about the same lake! If you come out of town on the 700 onto 57 it is well signed, you go a little distance down a dirt track. I was under the impression it was a private enterprise.
