The last video in Battambang. It is one of those I will never forget. Via this video, I hope I’m able to show you a few things to do in Battambang. We went to do the bamboo ride, the Killing Caves, and the Bat Cave in Battambang. The best man to hire for a half-day/full-day tour is my new friend Mr Sam. Please get in touch with him a bit in advance as he might be booked already but, if he’s available, you won’t regret choosing him. His rate starts at $20.- He’s not the cheapest in town but surely one of the best. Please don’t forget to tip generously to my Cambodian friend if you enjoy his company (He won’t ask for it so I do it 🤭) I’m sure he and his family are working hard for a better life ❤️ Mr. Sam’s details: 📱WhatsApp: +855 95 895 144 📩 Email: Samboyun8@gmail.com 🏥| SafetyWing Nomad Insurance is a reliable and affordable travel insurance that I have already for over two years; https://safetywing.com/nomad-insurance/?referenceID=ChaiTravel&utm_source=ChaiTravel&utm_medium=Ambassador 🛒| The champ shop: null 🥇| Join this channel to get access to perks and also help the channel be sustainable so we can keep making content: null ☕️| Unfortunately, what we've been doing so far is unsustainable.
