Northwestern Cambodia
Beyond the Crowds
Heard enough about Angkor Wat? Don't forget the pre-Angkorian capital of Sambor Prei
Kuk, the region's first temple city, or the remote jungle temples of Preah Vihear Province.
Other noteworthy temples include Banteay Chhmmar in the far northwest and hilltop Wat
Banan near Battambang.
The Real Cambodia
Battambang has some of the best preserved French architecture in the country, a lively din-
ing scene and a beautiful riverside setting. Kompongs Chhnang and Thom are well off the
tourist trail and offer a slice of the real Cambodia.
