North of the center are the ruins of Ek Phnom, an 11th-century pagoda with sandstone carvings.

Tonlé Sap is a lake in the northwest of Cambodia. It belongs to the Mekong River system. It is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the world, designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1997 due to its high biodiversity

    Exploring the stunning Tonle Sap Lake on a private wooden boat was the highlight of my journey from Battambang to Siem Reap. The six-hour trip was filled with breathtaking views and a peaceful ambiance that made for a refreshing escape. I appreciated the chance to glide along the water and witness the vibrant local life, though a few stretches felt a bit slow-paced for my taste. The boat’s wooden charm added a cozy feel, but I did find myself wishing for a bit more information about the unique ecology of the lake during the ride. Overall, it was a delightful way to travel while soaking in the stunning landscapes.

    Our experience traveling from Krong Battambang to Siem Reap via the serene Tonle Sap Lake was truly captivating. The wooden boat felt like a slice of history, gliding smoothly over the water while we soaked in the stunning landscapes and local life unfolding along the shores. There was something profoundly peaceful about navigating through the floating villages, with children waving from their homes and fishermen casting their nets against a backdrop of beautiful, shimmering waters.

    However, the journey, while serene, was occasionally interrupted by a bit of choppiness that made us feel a tad uneasy at times. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing insightful stories that enriched our understanding of the area, but we would have appreciated a little more hands-on assistance with our bags at the start. Overall, this private escape was a memorable way to transition between two fascinating destinations, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for Cambodia’s natural beauty and culture.
