For Cambodia's second largest city, Battambang is surprisingly sleepy. A colourful provincial tapestry of long roads lined with tall overhanging palm trees, friendly locals and French Colonial archictecutre, the pace slows down in this fertile rice-producing region lending it the name the 'Rice Bowl of Cambodia'. Cruising here by boat from Siem Reap is a serene way to arrive. For a journey of a different pace, hop aboard Battambang's bamboo train - when you meet an oncoming 'carriage' on the single track, dismantle yours to let them pass! Nearby visit the modern hill top pagoda Phnom Sampeau for expansive views and surrounding countryside to learn how rice paper and noodles are made.
