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.

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.

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.

Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Another thing I like here is the service. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by someone and  o
