Slow Battambang

During the low season, Battambang can be described as an all most to quiet place. This makes networking and getting to know others really difficult. Many seem to be busy with their own life and those that are busy are even too busy to greet you with a simple hello. So what are some things that you can do when everything else seems to be running at a snail pace?

Entertainment is not hard to find in Battambang depending on what you like to do. There are many different places that can keep you entertained until you feel like going home and passing out under the mosquito net. Many foreigners might want to try some beer gardens like 71 0r 96 and so forth if you like to have a few beers with friends and chat with single ladies that will tell you anything just to try an earn a tip from you.  Many of the foreign bars are a great way to unwind. Here Be Dragons and places like Cafe Eden have a great atmosphere during the evening where you can hopefully find a drinking buddy if your feeling like chatting about your adventurous trip to Cambodia. If your into dancing to some high energy techno music, then you might want to check out Sky Disco or even Starlight. I have been to these places and to tell you the truth, it was a head ache.

Taking a trip to Komping Pouy is one of the locals favorites when some special occasion is happening. But for someone like me, I go when I feel the need to get out. Komping Pouy is a place where I can rent a boat and take a ride on the lake to enjoy the beautiful man made lake, and try to nab some lotus plants so I can eat the seeds.

Haven't been around most of Battambang. You can rent a moto at Gecko Moto's for $7 bucks a day and take it for a spin all around Battambang, and while you in the area, you can have a great meal just above at The Gecko Cafe.

Catching up on some old unseen movies is a way to stay out of the rain during the evening or even sitting down and digesting yourself in a great book.

Many of the local NGO's have many things going on and you can find out by setting up an account with battambang connect via google groups. The site is used as an information hubb to let those know whats going on in this city. You can also follow me on facebook at

Cafe Eden in Battambang

This place is one of my favorite spots to grab a beer and chill out. This place is located on Street 1 in between 119th and 121th street. From 3 pm to 7 pm, happy hour is in effect so you can get a glass of ice cold beer for .50 cents. They also have a good selection of good coffee and a menu that can satisfy the most picky. The food is mostly western but that's what I like about it.  They have a breakfast menu, salad menu, sandwiches and great appetizers. So if your new to Battambang, don't forget to stop by here and enjoy the nice atmosphere. The upstairs area is air conditioned and since it's located on street #1, you get to see the busy people of Battambang go about their daily lives. The place offers free Wi-Fi and the person that runs this place is a nice women. Cafe Eden Contact: Tel: (053) 73 1525 Email: cafeedencambodia@gmail.com Website: www.cafeedencambodia.com
