Time & Distances

Getting around in Cambodia is a lot easier nowadays than it used to be. Relaxation and lack of hurry are the two key elements. After all, if everyone else inthe country displays an unhurried attitude towards travel, why should you?

From April to July (dry season) it takes 5-6 hours and before reaching the pier in Siem Reap, travelers are transfered to a smaller boat to pass through the floating village, reach the riverbank and walk with their luggage to reach the waiting car.

Battambang by Boat	5-6 hrs / 150km	Comfortable and interesting way to discover the fragile eco-system of the Tonle sap lake. Remarks: The transfer from Siem Reap to Battambang by our traditional wooden boat lasts about 5 to 6 hours from August to March. During the dry season-from April to July- the transfer lasts 9 hours due to the low level of water of the Ton Le Sap Lake and the Sangker River. In this sense we do not recommend this trip during this season.
