During our stay in Battambang we decided to explore the city by following the free walking tour produced by the Battambang Municipality.
Along the walking tour the city’s French and Khmer history is seen in building’s architectural style.
Whilst interesting, having arrived from the Angkor region, the city was a little underwhelming.
