Moreover, the Battambang province consists of many ancient houses, pagodas and reorganized resorts as the Tahok Mountains which largely benefit recreation of national as well as international tourists. In fact, in 2006, a considerable increase in tourists who came and visited these places was able to help our authorities to reduce the poverty of the people.
The important role tourism plays in the field of social development cannot be overlooked. As a matter of fact, we need to improve quantity as well as quality of hotels, guest houses, restaurants, night clubs, tour agencies and means of transportation to answer back in time to the call of an increasing number of tourists setting foot to the Battambang province.
So, from Battambang center, just follow the river road south along the Sangker River. Not long and you’ll arrive at Banan temple, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. Located only 2 km south from Battambang’s Psar Nat or central market along the Sangker River, tourists can find the cultural, agricultural and fruit villages of Watkor commune. The people of these three villages welcome you to come and enjoy insights into the true Cambodian way of life…
The three villages are: Watkor Cultural Village and Agricultural Villages Kompong Seyma and Ksach Puy.
