Remarks: The transfer from Siem Reap to Battambang by
our traditional wooden boat lasts
about 5 to 6 hours from August to March.
During the dry season-from April to July- the transfer
lasts 9 hours due to the low level of water of the Ton
Le Sap Lake and the Sangker River. In this sense we
do not recommend this trip during this season. |
