The province of Battambang is often overlooked by tourists, which is a shame since it is the third-largest city in Cambodia, bustling with culture and authenticity.
We decided to make a stop here and see for ourselves what the region has to offer and we were pleasantly surprised.
In this video, we want to share a little bit of the recent history of Cambodia. Unknown to many but what we believe is necessary for any traveller to know in order to understand Cambodia and its wonderful people in the present day.
We will share with you some lesser-known tourist spots that are perfect for any day trip, it is a beautiful region full of kind people and filled with a vast and interesting history.
Join us as we explore Battambang and share our firsthand experiences.
We do not want to focus on the dark part of Cambodian history since this is not Cambodia in the present day, but we all need to understand the sacrifices that Cambodians made to become the wonderful and fast-developing country it is today.
That is why we as visitors want to pay our respects to those who lost their lives in the process.
May they rest in peace and smile upon the eternal beauty of Cambodia in the present day.

What is your favourite province in Cambodia? Have you been to Battambong, let us know what you liked most about it! 😉
I plan to come to Siem Reap this year & may stay. I certainly want to see the areas you visited & others you mentioned. I was very emotionally touched by your experience. I can't imagine how I will feel in person! Thank you for such a beautiful video.
@ThereIsSoulinArt That means a lot to us, thank you. We are glad you enjoyed the video and support your choice of coming to Cambodia! You will find it an incredibly charming place, just give yourself some time to get in tune. Thanks again! 😊👍
@@sheepandshepherds thank you. I want to experience everything I can.
Battombong is my hometown. I was 8 years old when Khmer Rough came to power. Thank you for reading out loud and showing the world how we Khmer are kind and compassionate after we went through hell and survived. We are resilient people. Thank you for your kinds words.
Battambang is my homeland. If you’re interested about the Khmer Rouge story in Battambang, my suggestion is to visit the reservoir dam water that have been build during the Khmer Rouge too, 1000 and 1000 of life have been lost there building the dam. It’s a popular place in Battambang but not that many tourists know about that place. And my suggestion is to visit the rice fields in Battambang too, it’s the biggest rice fields in Cambodia and the best number one rice in the world, it come from there.
We had the reservoir dam on our itinerary but unfortunately didn't have the time since it was already getting very late and dark. Thank you for sharing all this valuable information, we really appreciate this and feel like we still have to cover a lot in Battambang. We both loved it here and will be back to show all landmarks in more detail. 🙏🙏🇰🇭
@@sheepandshepherds Battambong is one of the big provinces in Cambodia. It have many thing to see and thing to do. The waterfall there is a good place to visit. Anyway I like watching all of your videos, thank you for visiting my country 🙏❤️
We were very surprised by Battambang in a good way. Taking all these trips and discovering the region with a motorcycle is one of the most fun things to do. We are both very happy to hear you like all of our videos, you motivate us to keep creating more videos. Our next one will cover Phnom Penh, we hope to hear from you again! 🙏🙏😊
Where is the waterfall at in battambang? The dam at ?
Hey is it HAUNTED 👻 over there ? I HEAR A LOT OF PLACES ARE HAUNTED OVER THERE. I WAS WARNED ABOUT NOT STAYING AT CERTAIN HOTELS AND BEING CAREFUL OF STAYING ALONE.. YOU MIGHT BE SLEEPING NEXT TO A GHOST
Those prayer halls are opened during evening meditation around 5.. 6 pm. The best time to visit a temple would be between 9-12 am when the monks and the people living the temple are active. In the afternoons, the monks are typically resting, meditating, or attending classes. If you want.. you can even ask the head monk if you can stay for the night :D
I wish we had known this information before, we learn something new every day.. thank you for sharing! 😉 It would be nice to spend the night in the temple grounds one day 🌃🙏
@@sheepandshepherds There is a temple called "Wat Ondaek" translated "Turtle Temple" near Battambang.. maybe an hour by motorcycle near the carved statue of Buddha on the side of the mountain there. There are about a hundred monks there including 50 apprentice monks. It's very active and a very good community. The temple has set up little cabins all over the grounds and you can ask the head monk for a meditation retreat :) The vice abbot is Savuth Vak.. super kind and gentle person and speaks some English. You can tell him his amazing student from America "Chanthorn Peou" sent you over :D They also have daily classes on Buddhism.. but not sure if you can attend those, it was mainly monks when I was there in training.
Also, there is a Cambodian youtuber called "Thyda foods". she would totally be down to collab with you guys on a video.. she cooks amazing khmer and gives you lessons on the ingredients as she does it while introducing you to her way of living there. Hit her up!
Wow!
Thanks!

Hello! Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
Thank you for visiting Battambang. My cousin's house is right around the corner from Phnom Ek. Four months ago, I was there as well. I would like to live in Cambodia when I retire. Cambodia will be much cheaper than Texas. Retirement is still a long way off for me.
We really hope you achieve your dream of retiring in Cambodia someday. Cambodia will be waiting with open arms to welcome you back whenever you decide to retire, no matter how long it takes 🤍
thank you for your share my city
It is our pleasure, we enjoyed our stay in Battambang a lot!

Help, if i was there, I would think that abandoned school is haunted💀Especially with the small statues near the termite mount-
It had a very strange atmosphere, luckily everything was fine. The termite nest was the biggest one we ever saw!
Battambang isn’t unknown. It’s well known in Khmer. Well, if your reference is to tourists, then maybe it’s unknown.
Hi there, thanks for your comment! You're totally right. We were highlighting Battambang from a tourist's perspective because we noticed it often gets skipped on itineraries. We had a fantastic time exploring the city, driving around with a motorcycle, and we think other tourists would too! :)
Thank you so much for visiting Cambodia..I were there went it happen my age between 11 and 12 yrs old both of my parents and my little 4hour old baby brother died during the Khmer rouge 😢😢😭😭 and all my siblings were separated. The Khmer rouge is pure EVIL'S creature's monster living on this planet
I think about my parent's and my little brothe very often and I miss them so much .😢😢💔 may they rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏❤
It is our pleasure to visit Cambodia and its wonderful people. We grieve with you for the suffering and pain they have caused you and your family members. Our condolences go out to you and we will pray for your family and all the others that have passed away. May this dark chapter of history never repeat itself and Cambodia find the greatness its people deserve! Thank you for sharing you story and we are truly sorry for the suffering you have endured, you are very brave and strong 🙏🙏🇰🇭
Khmer Rouge bombs still nor fully recovered Please be careful.
You are completely right. We are very careful, thank you for sharing. I hope all the UXO will be gone one day soon
Good! 24 hrs and know Battanbang? Or? Battanbong? Sorry you need to make cash? This is for your family album. Not for general public. Try shampoo and a razor? 🤔
