Battambang in Tips

Battambang has a considerable number of ATMs compared to smaller towns, so carrying huge amounts of cash is not required. Carry enough snacks and water while heading to the caves of Phnom Sampeau as there are little refreshment options. Bargaining for a fixed rate is recommended while hiring Tuk-Tuks is a good practice. Also, if you plan to stay in the city for a few days, negotiate for multiple days at once for the best prices.
