The best shopping in Battambang isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Colonial old town are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Phnom Sampeau — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Cambodia's second city, a quiet riverside town with French colonial architecture, a bamboo train, and some of the country's finest temples.
