1. Bamboo Train
Locals developed a method of quickly moving people by constructing Bamboo Trains the size of tiny boats, which can fit a small family. These are manually operated by pulling a lever.

5. Bicycle
I strongly advise riding a bicycle into some of the nearby rural areas so you can take it easy and have time to fully appreciate your surroundings. For $1–$2 per day, you can easily rent one.

6. Wat Kandal
Wat Kandal does not have set business hours and the admission is free. Sanker Pagoda and the Battambang Governor’s Residence are close, make it simple to visit all three in an one morning.

7. Phnom Sampeau
From here, you may get the greatest view of the city and the surrounding area in all of Battambang. The mountain also has caves where the Khmer Rouge executed people.

8. Kayak through rural area
Many inhabitants in Battambang have built homes along the river. You’ll find houses on stilts over the lake in what is practically a neighborhood on the water, where locals fish, swim and wash their clothes.

10. Phsar Nath Market
This market was constructed in the 1930s by French architect. In a little city in Cambodia, you’ll see Frenchstyle shop fronts and ceilings that you certainly wouldn’t expect to see.
