Battambang

Just back from shooting in Battambang. This is still a great Cambodian province to visit, you just have to go the opposite direction from all the backpacker sheep. Easy to get to from BKK and lots of Thai spoken given it's proximity. And you can use baht to pay for everything.

Some photos here.

Crackin' set of photos!

No matter how hard I try (or how much money I spend) I just can't get 'em like that.

One of my favorite places in Cambodia (I live here). Actually, I am heading there in a couple of weeks. I am in no way afilliated, but Battambang Resort is the place to stay. A little outside town but very nice rooms and great food. Oh, and well away from the backpacker scum sheep.

And fantastic photos koknia.

Thanks. I lived in Cambodia from 1994-2000 and go back for a month or two every year. (I was on the staff of The Cambodia Daily newspaper.)

B-bang is full of backpackers now, so it has completely changed the way the townsfolk interact. ("Give me your money.") But head out into the countryside and it's still completely as it was 20 years ago. People are so open and nice, still my favourite country.

Wonderful photography, thank you.
