- Good day fellow humans!
Today we take our first look around on camera at the 3rd largest city situated within Cambodia, BATTAMBANG!!
This city is definitely unique, some compare to a smaller Siem Reap and some find it totally unique. I guess we fall somewhere in the middle. But what we can say is that we really enjoyed our time here in Battambang and if you are looking for a place to visit for 2-3 or even 4 days in Cambodia then Battambang could be the shout for you.
We had a great time filming and exploring and we hope you enjoyed coming along with us on this look around. Thanks SO very much for watching and the support and comments you viewers give.
Much Love F&S

F&S.
Battambang is my second home as my wife comes from there.
So much to see and do there, go to phare circus, bamboo train, bat caves , take a trip out of town to see the local villages.
Amazing great friendly people.
You should go in April for new year or November for water festival
Beautiful! She comes from a lovely part of the world.
We saw a few things while there and videos releasing soon! Hopefully we get a chance to partake in the water festival!
Before they spun two provinces out of BattamBang (meaning: Batt = Lost; Dambang = big stick), Battambang was the biggest province in the country.
Finally, Battambang city 👍👍
For land size, Bat-tambang is the largest province and also top rice producer including fruit farm orchards in Cambodia. This province is still a sleepy town comparing to SR or PP. Top three todo things are Killing Caves on top of Phnom Sampov, Bat caves, and Bamboo Train rides. Peace ✌️
Cool looking city and nice river front. Pave those roads.
I think everyone would love some paved roads there!
Battambong Durian is the best in Cambodia, grown at rural Samloat area , Battambong is known for 2 nd biggest city in Cambodia, maybe nowaday Siemreap becoming bigger population because everyone trying to move there for tourists income$
We didn't try any there, but we'll take your word for it.
It does seem that people are moving around a bit in Cambodia due to that.
Love the Cafe 😊
4:36 to 5:26 You will see these vehicles all over Isaan - They are called "Lot Thai" - the literal translation is "motorised Thai" because they carry things Thai people used to carry by hand but now they have these "homemade" machines etc. Love the street art.
Ah sweet! Love the explanation! Street art was pretty wicked, and looks like new stuff goes up each year!
By the time you guys see my comment, you may have already left Battambang, but still, I would like to recommend you try Mi Kola (មីកូឡា) and Bay Soaheu (បាយសោហឺ), if you get a chance to maybe? They are famous breakfast for the locals and it tastes great! Also, Miss Wong bar would be a great place to end your evening. Enjoy the rest of your trip and be safe!
We are not in Battambang anymore but there is always the strong chance we will be back so we will keep these suggestions for next time.
Thank you for taking the time to recommend these foods, we appreciate it 🙏😊
The name Battambang, Cambodia is related to a well-known Cambodian folk story and means "disappearing stick".
Yes indeed! We did learn that from our Tuk tuk driver later on in the trip!
Please visit the bat cave since you are in Battambang! 🦇
We did! Stay tuned!
If you are still in Bat-tambang, you can do collaboration with Shanaelael as she has been living there for awhile now and she can also speak Khmer fluently!
Hey, unfortunately this was a little over a week ago so we're not there anymore. But great suggestion! Would love to learn some more Khmer!
Nice video guys,have you been on the bamboo train? Looks fun
Should be the next video!
Duran is very difficult to grow, and you have to constantly pull the weeds and kill the bugs on the tree. it is not easy like avocado tree, and that is why is so expensive. Duran is considered a luxury food. The price will change and it depends on the season. 2nd I think Battambang is the second largest city after Phnom Penh.
It is indeed! We found that out when we visited a Durian Farm on Borneo. Avocado's aren't the easiest either!
You could be right, though I'm not too sure based on info and out of date census's. Either way, it's one of the Biggest in Cambodia and it surprised us as we'd never heard of it before getting to Cambodia.
You need to buy a bike , If you are going to live there , makes life easier
Very chilled and like how it’s spread out , would be very cool place to wander - good video 👌 look forward to more ✔️✌️👋😃👍👋
Great place to just spend a half or full day walking aimlessly. Thanks Ant! 🙏
Very good report on Battambang. Thanks for the information.
Our pleasure!
Durain is expensive af for average people but we sacrifice our salary during durain season 😂
Some things are worth it!
