Battambang is a charming city, too often overlooked by tourists hurrying between the temples of Siem Reap and the bright lights of Bangkok and Phnom Penh. Now, at Here Be Dragons, there's a place for them to kick back, drink and swap stories, or just sink into a hammock and relax.


Here Be Dragons bar is open till late, plays good music, and serves cheap beer and a variety of colourful cocktails - from classics like margaritas and mojitos to more surprising inventions, like the dramatic table-slamming 'dragon drop'. The food menu includes breakfasts, sandwiches and some great Khmer and Thai dishes at prices to suit every budget, and will soon be extended to include a full range of backpacker Western favourites. There's also a big garden with comfy seats and lots of flowers, where travellers can chill out with friends or a laptop at any time of the day.

Our $2 a night dorm room will be ready in early November, and by the end of the month we should have all our rooms open. Prices range from $5 for a double room with shared bathroom to $10 for a double room with private bathroom.

For more information or press pics, please ring Jen on 089264895 or email ogilviejen@hotmail.com. Our website is currently under construction, but you can find us on facebook at www.facebook.com/herebedragonsbattambang

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

                        (Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen.   Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks. Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Ano...

The White Rose in Battambang

 The White Rose is Khmer owned and is located on the corner of St 121 and Road 2.5. This place serves good Khmer dishes for reasonable prices and some western foods. They also serve some of the best shakes in town. This place has a balcony, patio area which visitors can sit and watch the streets below where vendors sell their wares to those walking the streets. The White Rose also has a nice desert menu and ice cream that reminds me of home. This place also offers free Wi-Fi. Cleanness When the day starts of here, the place is set nice, with your typical glass, silver ware wrapped in cloth and set up nicely on the tables. I guess when this place gets real busy, the place starts looking neglected due to short of workers and the many things that are going on. To me, I think the place is under staffed and would probably run better if they were up to pace with workers. But besides that, everything else is typical Cambodia so if you don't mind that, then everything s...

Police Blotter: 23 Nov 2012

Kiddie robbery should have been child’s play It was like taking candy from a baby or, more precisely, a necklace from a 4-year-old. The crime took place on Wednesday when an apparently conscience-free 20-something approached the young victim as he was using a swing set in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district. Police said the tike, enjoying a relaxing afternoon with dad, had been left momentarily unattended when the cad in question came up and talked him out of his jewellery. Thankfully, pops looked up in time to see the transaction go down and immediately called for help. The callous crim was quickly collared and is now awaiting court. Kampuchea Thmey Abused wife does what neighbours couldn’t A fed-up wife finally had enough of her abusive husband yesterday, dropping the dime on her sadistic spouse of several years. Police in Banteay Meanchey’s Thmar Pouk district said the 44-year-old man, now sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial, had been beating his wife for some time, occ...
