The next day, you can take a car ferry across the river to the Kampong Leang area and follow the road to the intersection with National Road No. 6 in Krong Steung Saen. 2. Less visited road: Battambang - Bantai-Chkhmar. Embark on a journey through the countryside from Battambang to Bantaichmar to plunge into unknown places. Discover the charm of the Cambodian countryside, visit local temples and admire the serene beauty that hides behind the hustle and bustle of the city. This journey allows you to delve deeper into the rich history and traditions of Cambodia. The ideal time to travel on the roads of Cambodia is from November to March, when the weather is cooler and drier. During this period, optimal driving conditions are created and bright landscapes open up. However, if you are bolder and have more off-road driving experience, consider traveling at the end of the rainy season (June to August), when the scenery is more lush and there are fewer tourists, but be prepared for the fact that the roads may be completely flooded!
