Tuk-tuk ride around Battambang, Cambodia (Cambodian countryside auto rickshaw ride)
In our latest travel video we hop on a tuk-tuk for a tour around the rural areas (countryside) just outside of Battambang, Cambodia where pass farmland, rural villages, local markets and lush green vegetation. Our auto rickshaw driver was such a friendly outgoing individual who helped show us numerous attractions. Overall, it's a great way to explore the countryside areas which are too far from the city to be comfortably explored by bicycle. As always, we recommend getting up early to beat the heat and to visit the markets during the initial flurry of morning activity.

Auto rickshaws are a common means of public transportation in many countries in the world. Also known as a three-wheeler, Samosa, tempo, tuk-tuk, trishaw, auto, rickshaw, autorick, bajaj, rick, tricycle, mototaxi, baby taxi or lapa in popular parlance, an auto rickshaw is a usually three-wheeled cabin cycle for private use and as a vehicle for hire. It is a motorized version of the traditional pulled rickshaw or cycle rickshaw. Auto rickshaws are an essential form of urban transport in many developing countries, and a form of novelty transport in many Eastern countries.
In Cambodia, the term tuk-tuk (Khmer: ទុកទុក) is used to refer to a motorcycle with a cabin attached to the rear. Cambodian cities have a much lower volume of automobile traffic than Thai cities, and tuk-tuks are still the most common form of urban transport. At the temple complex of Angkor, for example, tuk-tuks provide a convenient form of transport around the complex for tourists. One can hire a tuk-tuk and driver by the day.
Siem Reap tuk-tuks are generally of the style of motorcycle and trailer. Phnom Penh tuk-tuks are by contrast one piece. They are the front end of a motorcycle consisting of steering, tank and engine/gearbox with a covered tray mounted at the back. The power is transferred by chain to an axle mounted to the modified rear fork which drives the two rear wheels. Suspended upon the rear fork is an open cabin with an in-line seat on each side. This arrangement can carry 6 people at ease, with their luggage in the leg space. It is not unusual to see these vehicles greatly overloaded, especially in outer suburbs and around markets.
Currently, Tuk Tuk in Cambodia is being developed to be more convenient and safer. It is also becoming a popular form of transportation for Phnom Penh residents:

Soksabike Tour in Battambang, Cambodia (HD)
There certain experiences you have while traveling that change your perspective on life. I had one of those moments on my bicycle tour with Soksabike.
It came at an unlikely moment, in a small room beneath a woman's home where she produces rice noodles. As we were finishing up our visit and I was saying my goodbye's to the family, she casually began a story that stopped me in my tracks.
Bicycle Ride touring around Battambang, Cambodia (Wat Sangker, Railway Station, Governor's Office)
On the second day of Khmer New Year (Cambodian New Year) we decided to go on a bicycle ride touring around Battambang, Cambodia exploring along the Sangker River, Wat Sangker, Sangker Park, Old Railway Train Station, the Governor's Office and other random areas of town. During the heat and humidity of a typical day it's a great idea to wake up early and go exploring on bike before it gets too hot. The city is very pedestrian and bicycle friendly (aside from the main roads) along most areas. Along the way you'll notice many Wats (Buddhist temples), Khmer locals, monks and even animals. We recommend hopping on a bicycle as one of the many things to see and do while visiting Battambang. Although Battambang itself doesn't have a lot of main attractions, the laid back nature of the city is one of the featured highlights.

Making rice paper with Soksabike tour near Battambang, Cambodia
I took a half day bike tour with Soksabike in Battambang. We biked out into the country side and got a proper cultural experience learning how rice paper, banana chips, rice wine, and fish paste are made. We also visited a memorial to the 10,000 who died at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. All in all, an educational and exciting tour.

Bus Ride in Cambodia from Siem Reap to Battambang (Scenery, Tractors, Motorcycles, Pigs, People)
With our time in Siem Reap coming to an end we hopped on a Cambodian bus heading to Battambang - enjoying the scenery, plethora of diverse vehicles on the road (including tractors, motorcycles, trucks with pigs, etc) and people on our bus ride. Overall the journey was three and a half hours including a lunch stop. One of the most fascinating aspects of taking a bus in Cambodia is watching outside of the window at what is unfolding before your very eyes. All kinds of different vehicles and makeshift crafts are chugging along the road. Sometimes you'll see a group of Buddhist monks riding on the back of a trailer and others times you'll notice pigs on the back of a motorbike and/or chickens dangling off from the side. It's the kind of eventful journey that we both enjoy.

Our bus ticket only cost $5 and we requested several days in advance to sit near the front of the bus. Not only were we near the front, but we also had strong air conditioning, which made the journey far more pleasant, as only weeks prior we had suffered sitting in the back of the bus literally feeling as though we were being cooked in a frying pan. For those traveling in Cambodia, we highly recommend booking your bus tickets in advance so that you can specify and claim a seat near the front of the bus. The footage used in this video was mostly shot at 120 frames per second (slow motion) so that you are able to witness events that would otherwise be a blur with your naked eye.
We're on a bus yet again. Where are we going? We're going to Battambang from Siem Reap. The adventures continue. Here is the journey.
On our last journey on the bus in Cambodia we were sitting right in the back of the bus and there was no AC. Basically, the AC didn't work there and we were sitting on top of the engines, so there was hot air blowing in. It felt like we were cooking in the back. We were just guzzling water, liters of water, and it didn't make any difference. This time we have a much nicer seat. We're near the front of the bus and we have AC. One of the tips we recommend for those traveling is if you know when you are going to be going somewhere at a specific date it is good to book your bus ticket several days in advance, so that you can get a seat near the front of the bus which tends to have better air conditioning. Otherwise, you'll be in the back cooking. Suckers!
So far we've passed a lot of scenic areas, a lot of rural countryside and parts along this particular route. We've seen just about any kind of form of transportation and form of craft but we are still looking for pigs on the back of a motorbike. That is what Sam really wants to capture. I do want to capture that.
This particular bus route is roughly three to three and a half hours and we just finished stopping at a rest stop here for about fifteen or twenty minutes and we ended up getting some steamed dumplings as our snack and now we're on the final leg of our journey with an hour and a half to go and then it is Battambang time.

Psar Nath Central Market in Battambang Cambodia ក្រុងបាត់ដំបង
Psar Nath is my favourite market in all of Cambodia. A market catering for locals (as opposed to tourists) it offers a glimpse at what Khmer people purchase and shop for on a daily basis. With plenty of fresh fruits and vegetable stands, hair salons and eateries it's a bustling hive of activity. The nicest part is that you can navigate the market without being hassled. :

Psar Nath market was built in 1936; a well designed Art Déco structure on the location of an open-air market at the river front is since considered to be a significant land mark for Battambang city: battambang-heritage.org/colonial_past.htm
Battambang is noted mostly for its colonnaded shophouse architecture, but right in the middle of the old town is Phsar Nath, a French modernist market. Built in the 1930s by the same architects who designed the famous central markets in Phnom Penh and Saigon, it is a very graceful example of late colonial design. There are two halves of the market, probably dividing it into wet and dry sections. Flanked on all sides by French-era shophouses, it is has become the city's most easily recognizable landmark. It remains a good place to try cheap, tasty local food: tripadvisor.ca
Battambang (Khmer: ក្រុងបាត់ដំបង, Batdambong) is the capital city of Battambang province in northwestern Cambodia.
Founded in the 11th century by the Khmer Empire, Battambang is well known for being the leading rice-producing province of the country. For nearly 100 years, it was a major commercial hub of Siam's Eastern Provinces, though it was always populated by Khmer with a mix of ethnic Vietnamese, Lao, Thai and Chinese. Still today Battambang is the main hub of the Northwest connecting the entire region with Phnom Penh and Thailand, and as such it's a vital link to Cambodia.
The city is situated by the Sangkae River, a tranquil, small body of water that winds its way through Battambang Province providing its nice picturesque setting. As with much of Cambodia, the French Colonial architecture is an attractive bonus of the city. It is home to some of the best preserved French colonial architecture in the country: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battambang
