Battambang was established as an important trading city with around 2,500 residents in the 18th century. The population was centred along a single road parallel to the Sangkae River (Stung Sangkae). In 1795 Siam (modern-day Thailand) annexed much of north western Cambodia including the current provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Oddar Meanchey, Pailin, and Siem Reap into the province of Inner Cambodia. The Siamese ruled Battambang as a provincial capital through the Thai-speaking Khmer Aphaiwong family, a branch of the Khmer royal family, which governed for six generations until 1907 when the province was ceded to the French to be reunited with Cambodia as part of the French Indochina colony.
Following colonization by the French, an urban layout was developed which resulted in an enlarged French colonial town. This first attempt at modernization resulted in well-defined streets laid in a grid pattern, building of urban structures and three main streets parallel to the Sangkae River, and the linking of both banks by the construction of two bridges in 1917. Military and prison facilities were also erected. Nineteen years later, a second urban development plan was implemented with a newly constructed railway linking Battambang to Phnom Penh. The urban structures were extended to the west of the town creating urban hubs oriented around the railway station. The large residential villas and public buildings built during this period of French development significantly changed the landscape of the previously remote city. A subsequent third urban development plan for Battambang involved the north, east and south of the city. This vast undertaking, which required long-term planning to integrate all of the previous work, resulted in a modern provincial capital that was by far the most developed region of Cambodia outside of Phnom Penh.
Much later, more infrastructure and public facilities were built under the modernization program of the Cambodian government led by Prince Sihanouk. Several provincial departments, a court house and other public buildings were added on both sides of the river. Textile and garment factories were built by French and Chinese investors, the Battambang Airport was constructed, and the railway line was extended to the Thai border at Poipet. To serve the cultural needs of the population, numerous schools and a university were built as well as a sports centre, museum and an exhibition hall.
Prasat Banan - after check in to the hotel, transfer for the visit to Prasat Phnom Banan temple, Adapts the architecture of the mid-11th century and the end of the 12th century; the temple was first built by King Dharanindravarman II (1050–1066) and was completed in its final form by the King Jayavarman VII (1181–1220). The temple is located on the top of a mountain approximately 400-meter-high located at Koh Tey 2 commune, Banan District. It can be reached by traveling 15 kilometers from the provincial town by the provincial road No 155, which runs parallel to the Sangker River. In the valley, there is Ku Teuk and two main natural wells, namely: Bit Meas and Chhung or Chhung Achey.
Nory (Bamboo Train) - continue to take bamboo train.
Phnom Sampov - continue to Phnom Sampov, the main article: Killing caves of Phnom Sampeau.
Is a natural resort located along the National Road No 57 (the former National Road No10) at Sam Puoy commune (the high land more than 100 meters high) and 12 kilometers from the provincial town of Battambang. On the top of Sam Puoy mountain, there is a temple and three natural wells, namely Pkar Slar, Lo Khuon and Ak Sopheak. Next to Sam Puoy mountain, there are some mountains, and natural sites like Phnom Trung Moan, Phnom Trung Tea and Phnom Neang Rum Say Sork. These mountains relate to the Cambodia folk legend of Reach Kol Neang Rum Say Sork.
Wat Ek Phnom - continue to visit Wat Ek Phnom. Adapts the architecture of the 11th century and was built in 1027 during the reign of King Suryavarman I (1002–1050). It is located at Piem Ek commune 14 kilometers from the provincial town.

Great Travel Company for South East Asia
I traveled with a group of 43 people through South East Asia for 4 months and used Mr. Sophoan Rath's travel company for most all of our travel and we had all great experiences!!
Below is a detailed review of each time we traveled with Mr. Sophoan:
November 11th Phnom Penh to Bangkok:
Everything went really smoothly and great! From Phnom Penh to the border on the bus and the minibus there was enough space for everyone and all of the bags! From the Border to Bangkok there was also enough space for everyone and all of the bags on each of the mini vans! Also having you there to translate and help direct us through the border was very helpful, and your english is very good! All in all was a very good trip!
January 6th Bangkok to Siem Reap:
This whole exchange was very smooth and very enjoyable for all. Being able to go all the way through from Bangkok to Siem Reap on the same bus and not have to carry our things through border control was very nice and we were all excited when we heard about this! On the bus and the mini van that we took all the way through there was enough space for everyone and all of the bags. Also having you there again to direct and translate was very helpful to the whole ordeal and making everything go smoothly! This trip went very well and was a very good experience!
February 6th Battambang to Kompong Thom:
This trip also went very smoothly! The pickup of the other 2 passengers in Siem Reap on the way went very well! There was enough space on the minibus for all of us and our bags. Also the driver spoke good enough english so that we could communicate a few things like stopping for lunch and things like that which was helpful! All in all this trip went well and was a good experience!
February 26th Kompong Thom to Siem Reap (4 to Battambang):
This trip went pretty well. The minivan from Kompong Thom to Siem Reap was a little tight for the 10 of us with all of our stuff, but for sure wasn't the worst by any means. After the 4 left in Siem Reap towards Battambang we had an easy time getting to the hostel we were staying at which was really good! The 4 that went to Battambang had a good experience and had no complaints!
March 4th Battambang to Siem Reap:
This trip went well as far as I am aware. I got no complaints or feedback of any sort. It was nice to have the extra car with the bus to haul all of the bags with everyone which was good! They made really good time from Battambang to which was really good! Then the whole ordeal with one of our guys leaving a lap top in the car went really well! Thanks so much again for helping us get that to us at the airport!

Such an amazing place with an amazing guide!
We absolutely loved Angkor Wat and Siem Reap but it wouldn't have been as great as a trip if it wasn't for our guide, Mr. Sophoan. The entire transaction was extremely easy, professional and authentic. He arranged it so we were picked up from our hotel in Bangkok and driven to the border, a couple hours away. Then one of his guides helped us across the Thai border where we were met by Mr. Sophoan and he helped us cross the Cambodian border. Everything was super simple and we never felt like we were in any danger even though it was just 4 of us young females traveling.
The entire trip was personalized by Mr. Sophoan to exactly what we wanted to get done in the short time we were there. He drove us around and took us to great restaurants, took us to the Floating village and even showed us more secluded temples where there was literally nobody else but us to explore them all.
Absolutely incredible and would HIGHLY recommend hiring Mr. Sophoan as a guide. I know it can be a little scary booking something with someone you do not know and who may or may not pull through for you so please feel free to message me if you have any questions at all!

Great tour of Angkor Wat temples
We booked a day tour of the Angkor Wat area with Sophoan having read the reviews on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. We didn't have much time in Siem Reap but the tour packed a lot into the day we had available. Sophoan is incredibly knowledgeable and was willing to answer all of the questions we asked, regardless of how silly they were. He was willing to share his personal experiences of living in Cambodia during some of the darker periods of its history which was very moving.
We appreciated the structuring of the tour in such a way as to avoid the big tour parties which really enhanced our experience of the temples. Sophoan pointed out all of the best vantage points to take photos from, including where to stand to appear to be nose to nose with the Buddha statue. Overall we just had so much fun on the tour with Sophoan and really appreciated his sense of humour. The temples themselves were incredibly beautiful and diverse and the day was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday.
Sophoan also arranged our transfer from Siem Reap to Ko Chang in Thailand which we were very happy we had arranged in advance as the Thai border crossing is pretty confusing and you need to change vehicles. We were met by a guide where our driver dropped us at the border who walked us across the border and ensured we knew what we were doing. The Thai leg of the journey was straight forward and we appreciated the driver's help getting us to the ferry.
