Komping Pouy, Battambang


 Komping Pouy is 45 minutes Wast of Battambang. You can get there by taking the National Hwy 57 and after you pass Phnom Sampow,  which will be to your left, you will come to Komping Pouy Rd. Make a right and follow this road until you come to Komping Pouy Lake which is where I took these pictures.

This place is known by many of the locales to be a place to hang out and be with friends and family. They have places on the edge of the water with straw roofs where you can sit on mats and order food and beer. The senery is great here and when I was there, there was a nice cool wind blowing. You will notice the food here cost a lil more than what you are use to paying in the city, but it's normal here. So don't think the locals are trying to over charge you. I did at first.

Also here, you can rent boats for 10 bucks. The ride is anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, which the pilot of the boat will circle the lake giving you a pleasant view of some nice scenery. I really enjoyed coming here, and the boat ride was awesome. Like I said, the boat was 10 bucks but if you can wheel and deal, you can get on for 25,000 ($6.25) to 30,000 ($7.50) reil. So if your looking to explore one of Battambang's highlights, I suggest you visit this place for a peace and enjoyable time.

Phnom Sampov

Phnom Sampoue is a natural resort located along the National Road No 57 at Sam Pouy Commune, approximately 12- kilometers  from the province town of Battambang. On top of this mountain are three temple sites and 3 natural water wells, namely Pkar Slar, Lo Khoun, Ak So Pheak. Also, next to Sam Pouy mountain, there are other main mountains sites like Phnom Trung Moan, Phnom Trung Tea, Phnom Neang Rum Say Sork. These mountains are related to the folk legend of Reach Kol Neang Run Say Sork. I have been to this place once and it is a nice place to visit. What I really liked was the little monkeys that don't seem to be afraid of those passing by.

            S ix years ago, Ry Mam boarded an international flight from LAX with three other Cambodians and two US marshals. “If any of you try to run, we’ll shoot you,” one of the marshals told the Cambodians. Mam thought that was strange—they were on an airplane and, anyway, he could have run a long time ago.
