Many– if not most– travellers who make it to Batambang do so by boat either to or from Siem Reap because of the excellent scenery the boat offers. Sure, you can also travel by bus and it will be cheaper (5 vs 20 USD) but you will miss an excellent opportunity to take great pictures and observe unusual lifestyles some Cambodian families have chosen.
Our early morning drive to the dock was a pick-up truck instead of the bus they had mentioned. Nothing extraordinary had it not been raining as heavily as it was.
Liza managed to squeeze into the cabin with other travellers, but I had to jump on the back with another couple and hoped that my raincoat would do its job. It did, unlike the backpacks which were quite wet by the time we reached the dock.
