Restaurants in Battambang
1. Sangker Gallery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 46 reviews
In 2011, the space now occupied by Sangker Gallery was a common studio where freshly educated artists met to exchange ideas and collaborate. While wanting to offer better visibility to the artists, the gallery did not want to break with the primary function of the place and limit itself to an exhibition space. The gallery is always a living space where artists can find material for their creations, work on their projects, draw inspiration from one another and use the internet for their research. Close to its artists, the team of the gallery takes to heart to support them in their artistic process. Film screenings are organized, debates, meetings and workshops by and for artists are set up with a specific theme (color, sculpture, etc.). We try to provide them with all the keys to success, especially by involving them in intercultural exchanges. In the heart of the city of Battambang, Sangker Gallery is committed to bringing contemporary art to the Cambodian public.

5. The Baha’i House of Worship

Given that the Bahá'í Faith is only 176 years old, it is amazing to see this facility, the first ever Local House of Worship to be opened in the world, (in 2017), open to all in the spirit of "The earth is one country and mankind its citizens". My family became members of the Bahá'í Faith in 1962, before the first international governing body of the faith, the Universal House of Justice, was even elected. I had no idea that I would live to see the first Local Houses of Worship being built in a country ravaged by war, whose beautiful ancient temples were ravaged again and again, as the area changed hands and the country changed religions. Free of ornamentation, and open to all, it invites visitors to commune directly with their creator, whatever they conceive it to be, in an atmosphere of calm serenity, acceptance and modernity. Yes as a Bahá'í myself, living in California, I am biased, but the random visitors we met there appeared also to be impressed by the serenity and acceptance they felt there. In the spirit of the Bahá'í principle of the "Independent investigation of truth" I commend this new temple of the world's newest religion to the interested visitor.

Every evening at very near to specific time, thousands of nocturnal bats taking flight from the surrounding caves in a massive formation of dark, black clouds. Be sure to photograph this amazing and staggering sight. This a natural spectacle and is a must must do activity in Cambodia, I doubt if any such activity can be seen anywhere in the world. There are many restaurants around here which provide sitting spaces provided you buy atleast one drink. We opted a restaurant with terrace to get best view and it was a great experience.

Reviewed By Fearless803025
This is a sad memorial to those that died in the Battambang killing fields. Not many people seem to come here but I think it is worth visiting. It's a really sad, at times graphic and touching place. Worth going to as a reminder of the past. Afterwards we visited Prassat Bassaet which was a temple complex almost destroyed by the Khmer Rouge. It was another stark reminder of that regime but it was touching to see the local efforts to restore the temples.
