3 days in Battambang, Cambodia: NOT what we expected!

This video covers our three-day trip to Battambang, Cambodia from Siem Reap in July 2024. It is the first time we have visited post-Covid, and the last time we were there was July 2019, so five years ago. A lot has changed and we investigate all of it for you! Warning! There’s no bat cave, no bamboo railway, and no circus. We’re riding a Honda PCX 150cc automatic moto. The hotel we stayed in is called Royal Hotel and it’s just behind the central market: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nEQTj4kiUM69f...

We donate 100% of our earnings from this channel to charities in Cambodia. You help us to earn this money simply by watching our videos.
