What to do in Battambang?

Local Bamboo train driver

In Battambang, you can take a ride on the bamboo train. It is an old railway and the way it operates is quite unique. We were surprised that each of us had to pay $5 to take the ride on the bamboo train. It seemed that the money was taken by the big, shady, corporate guy who fills his pockets with tourist money to drive that S Class Mercedes parked in front of the train. Locals, living around the bamboo train and working on it did not seem to be that well off. We would not do it again. It made us quite sad.

Battambang is famous for its bat caves that should not be missed. Around 5 million bats fly out of the cave for around 1 hour every evening to go hunting. Next to the bat cave is the killing cave where during Khmer Rouge regime many Khmers were taken, lined up, hit with a wooden stick and dumped in the cave. On top of the same hill is a beautiful viewpoint and if your tuk-tuk driver is knowledgeable enough he will take you behind the hill to see the sunset. All of this while thousands of bats circle around you drawing amazing figures in the sky.
