Rice Fields and Hidden Temples
Bite-sized trip
Days 1-2 – Battambang – arrival & guided tour
Arriving in Battambang, you’ll settle into your comfortable resort which is located just outside the city centre. Despite being Cambodia’s second largest city Battambang is still a small town with a rural air. Full of crumbling French colonial architecture, it’s an atmospheric place for a wander, with a lively market and dozens of Khmer restaurants serving tangy local curries.
Today you’ll explore outside of the Battambang city, learning more about rural life. You’ll be picked up from your hotel by remok (tuk-tuk) at around 8am and travel to the ancient temple of Ek Phnom. You’ll continue your trip through authentic villages where you’ll watch sticky rice and fish paste being made and learn how the local people make bananas into paper.
Day 3 – Battambang – Thai/Cambodia border – Trat
Today, you’ll leave Battambang and head for the Thailand border, a scenic but bumpy journey. After one last look over your shoulder at Cambodia, you’ll cross into Thailand on foot. Once you’ve cleared immigration, you’ll meet your Thai driver on the other side and continue to Trat, where your Thailand adventure awaits.
