Interesting mountain, which I walked to the top off. (You can take a moto, but it's pretty steep).

when i first visited in 2008 the road was all dirt form the turn off, now its nicely paved,
great place to relax and have a light meal ( there are food sellers there) an fills up on weekends with locals.

Got a history to it as well if u care to look it up.
There some nice smaller temples around Batt ( within 20 kms or so) an see very very few visitors.
take some nice dirt roads thru small villages and u feel like u stepped back in time.

Road to the border used to be all dirt , now fully paved and an easy 90 minute drive.

I've been to Battambang three or four times and I always enjoy myself. It's a nice town with some good countryside to explore.

You should have been to the outskirts of the city. It is really beautiful and moreover there are so many places to go which are really close to the city such as Bamboo Train riding. I rode the bambook train. It was so shaky, but it was so much fun though. If considered it as a real train riding, it would be my first time to ride the train. Anyway you still can go there any time you want as it is in our kingdom.
