🗺️ Geography
Battambang is located in northwestern Cambodia, set along the banks of the Sangkae River. The province is a vast, fertile plain bordered by Thailand to the west and the Tonle Sap Lake to the east. Its flat landscape is dominated by endless emerald rice paddies and dotted with limestone karsts like Phnom Sampeau.
🌤️ Climate
Battambang shares the tropical climate found throughout Cambodia:
- Dry Season (Nov – Apr): The most comfortable time for exploring. November to February offers cooler temperatures and breezy days, while March and April can become quite hot.
- Wet Season (May – Oct): The countryside turns into a vibrant, brilliant green. While afternoon rains are common, the dust is settled, and the rice fields are at their most photogenic.
