Hi guys,
I am off to Siem Reap this weekend. Have also been to Koh Rung, Koph Rung Sanloem, Kampot, and Kep during my forced stay here in Cambodia due to Corona.
All amazing places and I am falling in love with Cambodia.
It looks like I will be here for awhile more and would love to explore more of the country. I am looking at Batambang or Banlung? Are they worth seeing? Waterfalls around Banlung sound amazing but I am worried they may be dry as there hasn't been much rainfall. Any other places seasoned Cambodia hands would recommend. I am traveling with a lovely Cambodian girl who is great company and helps with the translations etc..
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice!
Batambang or Banlung?

From Siem Reap Batambang would be the easiest if the boat is still running, but I think the journey to Ban Lung would have lots of interesting stops on the way plus hill tribes.

It's rare to find a local who can translate Battambangian into Khmer. She sounds like a keeper.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
haha. whe is form Kampong Thom. I donth think she speaks the Battambanglingo, though she has spent some time there.
What are the cool stops along the way to Bamlung?

Preah Vihear and Stung Treng would be the most obvious places to break up a bus or car journey. A couple of days at each is enough. Both have hotels n khmer restaurants.

Sen Monorom is the places for waterfalls I think , Banlung is for the lake. But I may be wrong been awhile since I have been to Banlung and Sen Monorom.
