Adventure Of Battambong

Posted By : BeigePaige
Had the most amazing 2 days in Battembang on the Adventure of Battembang tour. Ra was the best, he rang us as soon as the tour was booked to make sure if there was anything he could help with before we started the tour. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to the colonial house, wine tasting, pagodas, temples, to see the fruit bat and relaxed in hammocks before dinner. Later we went to the killing caves and he arranged for us to experience motorbikes to the top to see the views. Then we sat and watched the bats come out of the caves. It exceeded all expectations and we even got to see the sunset behind. Ra took us to a lovely restaurant by the river side and had tea with us before dropping us back off at our hotel. It was a perfect day. The second day Ra picked us up again and we went straight to the bamboo train. It was a brilliant experience and I would highly recommend. We then saw more temples, pagodas and killing fields. Ra then very kindly offered to take us back to siem reap and recommended a lovely buffet restaurant and performance place to go for tea. He took us to the ticket office to get out bus tickets in siem reap and dropped us at the bus station. We have been in touch since to get recommendations for the rest of our trip and he has been very helpful and happy to arrange transport for us when we have needed it. Overall our trip has been made 100% better because of Ra and all his help. He is a friend for life. Super smashing great 👍🏽

We persued our visit to Battembang on the basis of visiting the infamous bamboo train and educating ourselves about the harrowing tales experienced within Phnom Sompov Mountain. Whilst researching these two local hotpots we came across the trip: Adventure Battembang. It is a two day excursion that included both of the pivotal parts to be seen in the province alongside: additional temples, wine tasting, a bat cave phenomenon and the colonial house. Whilst every single part of this was extraordianry it wouldn't have been made so without the tour guide, Ra. Me and my 3 other friends could not be more grateful for the experience he provided. On booking our tour he was in touch through Watsapp and wanted to build a good rapport with his clients from the get go. We knew what he looked like which was very helpful and he had  constant contact the whole time until our meet up. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Cambodia, very personable, humorous, kind, humble and wanting to provide the best experience possible. The first day consisted of the colonial house, wine tasting, temples, the killing/ bat caves. During this day he exceeded his service requirements by helping us sort out transport and provided advice around our next province to explore within our journey. The South Coast was flooded thus dangerous and he provided us with an alternative; Kampot and Kep (Rabbit Island), and made all the arrangements for us to arrive there. He was very conscientious always making sure he did his best to make sure we were comfortable, safe and enjoying out stay in Cambodia. During the trek up to the killing caves he enabled us to experience the arrival to the top of the mountain by motorbike with the locals, if we had done this ourself the price would have been much higher. His name meant sun God, this was no coincidence, at the time of the bat cave phenomenon a beautiful sunset backdrop appeared, our first sunset in Cambodia during rainy season, he really was our good luck charm. The second day mirrored the first day including temples and the bamboo train; both must dos during Battembang. The main thing that stood out for me during this visit was the love and pride the Ra had for his culture. He provided us with an experience that we could not have been exposed to alone. Both days we dined like locals and  ate local food; the first day enjoying cuisine over a river in hammocks and the second learning about sticky rice made in bamboo. He even helped us to purchase stationary to give to the children to promote education rather than giving them money. I am truly overwhelmed by our own Battembang Adventure it will be unforgettable and I highly recommend for those wanted to absorb more than just the sights. RA YOU ARE SUPER SMASHING GREAT we love and thank you  Orkun jrern. Som oy mean somnang laor! CHLOE HEPPENSTALL

During our 3 week stay in Cambodia we really wanted to visit Battambang and experience all of the sites it had to offer. Whilst researching we came across Adventure Battambang.... it truly was an amazing adventure! The tour guide Ra was informative, cultured and most importantly genuine. He really wants his guests to experience the best. He was in touch with us from the moment we booked the trip and even arranged transport to our next location.
The first day consisted of visiting a colonial house, wine tasting, visits to temples, experiencing local cuisine and a visit to the killing and bat caves in the evening. Ra arranged for us to travel on motorbikes with the locals to the top of the mountain which made the experience for us. As four northern girls we weren’t too sure what to expect but this went above and beyond all expectations that we had! To top it off Ra arranged for us to have a meal by the river in Battambang after watching a beautiful sunset at the caves!
The second day consisted of visiting the killing fields, an ancient temple and most importantly the Bamboo train. Again we were invited to dine with local with people and tried a delicacy of sticky rice cooked in bamboo!
Ra has honestly made our trip to Cambodia worthwhile! He is so passionate about his culture and the history of his country and his knowledge of events is exemplary!
Ra you truly are amazing!! Thank you so much!
