Located nearly 300 kilometres from Phnom Penh, the province of Battambang offers visitors distinct features, which are at times quite unique and not found in other provinces in Cambodia.

In addition to walking through its architectural landscape that blends buildings of Indochina style going back to the French Protectorate with those from the 1960s and older landmarks, both domestic and international tourists coming to the area never fail to experience an old style and rather exciting mean of transportation known as the Bamboo Train. While this name was given to the “train” by the English-speaking community, Cambodians who use it to go from point A to point B usually refer to it as “Kre Hos,” that is “Flying Bed” since its bamboo platform clearly resembles that of a traditional bamboo bed found in the countryside.
