Siem Reap to Battambang
Boat: Siem Reap to Battambang Daily ferry departs Siem Reap for Battambang at 7:00am. $12-$15/person. It's a picturesque, 3 - 4 hour journey across the Tonle Sap and up the Sangker River in the wet season, but can be considerably longer in the dry season due to low water. Ask about current conditions. The boats in no way meet international safety standards. There is no direct boat from Phnom Penh.
Road: Siem Reap to Battambang (National Routes #6 and #5, via Sisophon): Much of the stretch between Siem Reap and Sisophon is in poor condition. The road from Sisophon to Battambang is in good condition. Taxi: A private taxi is $30-$35. 3-5 hours.

Getting Around Battambang
Like most of Cambodia, the choice is motorcycle taxi (motodup), rent a car with driver, or rent a motorcycle. Your hotel can arrange a car or motorcycle rental. Cars are about $20/day and motorcycle rental runs $5-$8/day - a bit more expensive than other towns. Motodups are plentiful during the day. Just step onto the street and they will find you. They can be much more difficult to find at night. A ride in town should range 500 to 1500 riel. |
