Kamping Puoy Reservoir
HTML clipboardThis gigantic civil-engineering project was
central to the Khmer Rouge’s plan to irrigate the countryside around Battambang.
Tragically, the construction of the Kamping Puoy Reservoir resulted in the
deaths of tens of thousands of people. Unlike the victims of S21 and Choeung Ek
most of the deaths on the Kamping Puoy project were caused by malnutrition,
disease, overwork or mistreatment

Phnom Banan
HTML clipboardThis Angkor-era mountaintop temple is
definitely worth a look. At the top are beautiful views of the winding Sangker
River set amidst sugar palm trees, rice fields and small villages. To the south
you will see a mountain range that features a crocodile shaped mountain.

Phnom Sampeou Mountain
HTML clipboardDefinitely worth a visit, it’s about 15 km outside of Battambang city on
the way to Pailin (Rt. 10). Since it’s closer to Battambang than Pailin, we’ll
include it in this section, as it’s a trip that a lot of locals take from here.
However, if you are going to Pailin just save it for a stop on the way.

Wat Ek Phnom
HTML clipboardSituated about 10 km north of the Cobra Bridge are the ruins of Ek Phnom.
It was built during the Bayon period and unfortunately is much worse for the
wear than Phnom Banan. It’s an interesting place, however, because there is a
freshly constructed working temple right in front of the ruins.
