Re: Battambang as a tourist destination?
Hmmm, 8,000 foreigners a month. A bit off-putting.
That aside, I joined the BTB expat page on FB. Yawn . . . clothing swaps, ban plastic straws campaign, kitten giveaways, bric-a-brac sales, gallery shows, tuktuk services, NGO activities. Draw your own conclusions. Next . . .

Was in BB a few days ago. Nice and calm but after you've seen the nice sights in 2 days time to go. Too dead and boring at night. Makes Kampot look like a party town...which it is not.
Re: Battambang as a tourist destination?
Now... after reading this thread, I've got to check battambang out. How bad could it really be... hmmm.

Re: Battambang as a tourist destination?
It's a nice place, I like the street with the old wooden houses and the river road that winds around with the rice paper makers on it. But it is certainly extremely boring. I regret not buying the hotel with Stewie for 60K, we would have had fun and probably made money with his people skills. And maybe he would still be alive.

Re: Battambang as a tourist destination?
I am heading to Battambang for the weekend, I’d love any insider tips on where to go and what to see.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.
Re: Battambang as a tourist destination?
I had mentioned the lake where you can take a cool swim. Also there are around 80 crocodile farms.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Battambang as a tourist destination?
Eden on the river is good for food especially breakfast, Lunch - American style (although it is christian),
on street 1.5 Kinyei is excellent coffee from the feel good coffee people (also identical menu),
Jaan Bai - street 2 restaurant is excellent food for a good cause (also run by feel good people)
also near there on street 2 is the new (opened last week) Miss Wong cocktails (got a great branch in Siem Reap so I'd imagine this is just as good)
Pomme on street 2.5 is a great bar although backpackers stay above it, it is the best bar in town, they got a guy Sambath I think his name who will do tailor made tours around the area for about 14 bucks a person taking in a lot of things (village life, the lake, bat caves etc) just catch him the night before.
just down from it is another one I forget the name but covered in grafitti
across the river you got "here be dragons" which is very backpacker but you get a few expats in there.
enjoy, its a great place, like Siem Reap minus the douchebags
