Battambang, Commercial city in northwestern Cambodia.
Located 291 kilometers from Phnom Penh, Battambang spans along the Sangkae River with French colonial buildings lining its central district streets.
The city returned to Cambodian control during French protection but experienced occupation by Thailand for one year during Japanese invasion in World War II.
The Provincial Museum contains Angkorian and pre-Angkorian art pieces, including ancient statues and historical lintels, accessible through a modest entrance fee.
Multiple bus companies connect Battambang with major destinations in Cambodia, while the Sangkae River provides water transport to Siem Reap during rainy seasons.
The Phare Ponleu Selpak circus school trains children from disadvantaged families in performing arts, offering regular shows for visitors.
