Your guide will take you on a tour around the pagoda, showing you its most beautiful spots and explaining their significance.
Riverside walk : The Sangke River is Battambang's main river, flowing from the Thai border to Tonlé Sap Lake. It’s a popular spot for locals to hang out, exercise, and enjoy the scenery. During our walk along the river, you’ll find beautiful spots to take photos or stop and chat. This leisurely stroll offers a chance to experience the charm of Battambang and get a glimpse of the city’s vibrant life.
Peace Nagar: Many visitors to Battambang might pass by this place without knowing its story. This is Peace Nagar, a symbol of peace and reconciliation in Cambodia. The sculptures of the naga here represent prosperity and development. Your guide will share the history of Battambang during Cambodia's civil war in the 1980s-1990s and explain the significance of this naga as a reminder of the country's journey towards peace and unity after the decade of civil war.
Banque de l’Indochine, an architectural gem from the Indochina period in Battambang. Originally established as Banque de l’Indochine in 1902 during French colonial rule. Its classic European-style design, historic role, and preserved condition make it a must-see icon along the riverfront heritage district. This striking yellow building served as the Battambang branch of the National Bank of Cambodia from 2009 until 2019.
Kontrok Bar is a unique local spot in Battambang, known for serving the best cocktails in town. Inspired by the city’s beautiful colonial buildings. We’ll end our tour here with a delicious cocktail, enjoying the cozy setting and reflecting on our journey through Battambang.
