Buenas,
Ayer fui de #SiemReap a #Battambang en #Camboya atravesando el lago #TonleSap en barca.
No es lo más rápido ni lo más barato, pero tienes ocasión de conocer la vida en el lago. Y no digo en la orilla, si no dentro.
La gente que no puede permitirse comprar tierras o casas, se las construye en palafitos en medio del lago y el trayecto va atravesando varias aldeas "flotantes".
Se les conoce así, aunque en realidad estas no flotan, sino que están construidas sobre pilares.
Después de cruzarme con algunas barcas con escolares, llegué a la escuela de donde provenían.
En la descripción de la foto hay más detalles.

Battambang city in West-Cambodia distinctive features are remarkable statues at major entry points.
The most iconic of these statues is the multicoloured (blue, black, and red) of Ta Dambong holding a magical staff, said to have won him a kingdom.
Visitors frequently stop to offer prayers and make offerings of food, drink, incense, and money, seeking good fortune and safe travels.
The city of Battambang ("Bat-dam-bong") is named after him.
The magic staff establishing Battambang
Battambang is the prominent border city in West-Cambodia. It is rich in cultural and historical heritage. Among its most distinctive features are the remarkable statues positioned along the major roads leading into the city.
Ta Dambong and the Magic Staff
The most iconic of these statues is the multicoloured (blue, black, and red) figure of Ta Dambong holding a magical staff, said to have won him a kingdom. This statue is located at the eastern entrance to Battambang, along the main road from Phnom Penh.
The Lok Ta Dambong Kra Nhoung Shrine is one of the most visited sacred sites in the city. Visitors frequently stop to offer prayers and make offerings of food, drink, incense, and money, seeking good fortune and safe travels. It is also common for visitors to take selfies at the shrine as a gesture for a pleasant stay in Battambang.
Ta Dambong was a herdsman who discovered a magical staff that granted him the power to overthrow the reigning monarch and seize the throne.
When the king attempted to execute the sons of the former kings who had become monks the magic staff vanished into thin air—along with Ta Dambong’s royal power.
The prince reclaims the throne once held by his father.
The tale touches themes of royal legitimacy, social hierarchy, and the revered status of monks and holy men in Cambodian culture. But Ta Dambong is also celebrated as a folk hero. The city of Battambang (from "Bat-dam-bong") is named after him, and his figure is associated with good fortune and safe travel.
Battambang was established as a city during the peak of the Khmer Empire in the 12th century.

When your home is a temple
Some of the temples and pagodas in Cambodia are marvels of intrinsic details. Sometimes the cohabitants are, too. Like this one at Wat Sampov at Phnom Sampov/Phnom Sampeau near Battambang.
The monkeys at most of these temple sites are peaceful. They are adjusted to be relatively safe and have access to food and water. But they are also nosy and cheeky, and any seasoned traveller know to keep their belongings, food and water well contained or hidden around these rascals. They will try to steal anything they fancy from the humans.
And never, ever feed the monkeys. It reduces their ability to hunt and gather their own food, leads to malnutrition, and they become more aggressive and can be dangerous towards humans.
Challenging small gene pools
Another challenge for these monkeys is the small number of members in some of the temple groups. That is causing some problems with inbreeding due to limited gene pools.
We are talking severe Habsburgian jaw and bulbous lips, to use a European reference to tragedy and disaster when science is absent. I have personally observed this inbreeding problem to have become lesser over the last few years. Hopefully it means the caretaking of these cultural heritage sites improves. Including for the animals.
The monkeys also ad personality to the visits to the temple, and scale to photos taken there. I would miss having them around, if they were to disappear from the temple grounds.

Top gold itinerary in the Battambang hillside
The pagoda complex surrounding Wat Sampeou at the top of Phnom Sampov/Sampeou, "Ship Mountain" is concentrated variations of temple beauty. Before you get to the outlook points with a fantastic view to the surrounding Cambodian countryside outside Battambang.
Phnom Sampov is a cluster of hills northwest of Battambang city in the west of Cambodia. It takes about 30-40 minutes to get there from the city.
Walk up to the hill tops via the steep walkway or stairs or get a driver to drive you there. This hilltop is worth a visit either way.
But beware of the Macaque monkeys. These longtail Macaques are overly friendly because they expect to get, or steal, food from the visitors. Even if they are small animals, they are strong and can be ferocious.
There are several pagodas and temples on different sites in these hills.
Real Bat caves
Phnom Sampov is well known for the extensive caves under the hills. They each carry their own uses, cultural and religious significance and stories. Both of tradition, nature, happiness and deep tragedy.
By sunset, get down from the hills after some late afternoon shots of the warm sunset making the countryside soft and warm. Then, find a seat near the bat cave, and see thousands of bats leave for the nights hunt. The bat caves are near the entrance to the hills.
After seen the bats off, its time to go back to Battambang for the night. Enjoy food at one of the open-air restaurants near the river in the old French colonial city.

Just a nap in a restful and truly colourful place
The mountain of Phnom Sampov/Sampeau, “Ship Mountain”, outside Battambang is a collection of beautiful temples and monasteries in several variations. Located in several places in the mountains.
Add the many large caves, and Phnom Sampov represents a lot of Cambodian history, culture and nature. From the mythical parts to the more modern demanding.
In the east area of the mountain, a pagoda and stupa complex are surrounding the monastery at Wat Sampeou. From there it is several outlooks with a fantastic view to the surrounding Cambodian countryside.
And as the day even here gets hot, the smart one gets some rest. Surrounded by the paintings of the cultural heritage Cambodia is known for.

2025年8月16日午前11時頃、バッタンバン市内のトゥオルタエック村で、燃料を運搬していた列車が脱線しました。
この事故により、数万リットルもの燃料が流出し、住民たちが騒然となりました。事故の数分前、列車はバッタンバン駅からバンテイメンチェイ州に向かって走行していましたが、地盤が緩んでいたために線路が沈下し、燃料タンクが脱線してしまったようです。
事故後、流出したディーゼル燃料を汲み取ろうと多くの住民が現場に駆けつけました。脱線した4つの燃料タンクには、それぞれ数万リットルの燃料が積まれていました。 #Battambang

Top gold
The pagoda complex Wat Sampeou/Sompov at the top of Phnom Sampeou, "Ship mountain", outside Battambang is a concentrated area of temples and variations. With a fantastic view to the surrounding Cambodian countryside.
Walk up, or get a driver. It is worth it. But bevare of the monkeys, they are overly friendly because they expect to get, or steal, food.
At the top of the stairs for those who decide to walk up, you are greeted with this gate and the golden lotus leaf with a wanderer in center.
The caves on this and the other small mountain hills in this cluster carry with it stories of tradition, happiness and deep tragedy. It is worth spending some time walking these hills.
And by sunset, you should take a seat at the foot of the hills, near the bat cave. There you can see thousands of bats leave for the nights hunt. It is a fantastic sight because of the amounts of hunting animals.
Then, go back to Battambang for the night, and enjoy food at one of the open air restaurants near the river.

When you have temple and teeth
Some of the temples and pagodas are marvels of intrinsic details, but sometimes the cohabitants are, too.
The monkeys at most of these sites are peaceful, knowing they are safe and have access to food and water. But they are also nosy and cheeky, and any seasoned traveller know to keep their belongings, food and water well contained or hidden around these taily rascals.
Even if they are small, they are strong and have sharp teeth. So there is no use picking a fight.
Another thing is the small numbers of some of these monkey groups, causing some problems with inbreeding due to small gene pools. We are talking severe Habsburger jaw and bulbous lips, to use a European reference to tragedy and disaster when science is absent. I have observed this inbreeding problem decrease over the last few years, as the caretaking of these animals at these cultural heritage sites improves.
But the monkeys also ad personality and scale to these photos. So I would miss having them around, if they where to disappear.

Anscheinend sind hier in Südostasien die Dudes #PartyHard. Ich dachte in #Hanoi, #NhaTrang und #Saigon, dass liegt an den Partylocations. Aber in #PhnomPenh waren wir da schon nicht und in #Battambang aufm Land erst recht nicht. Egal ob Hochzeit oder man sich mit Freunden trifft, es ist immer eine Lautstärke, als will man die ganze Welt teilhaben lassen.
In meiner Bambushütte hör ich gerade die Hochzeit im Nachbardorf, die Danceparty 2 Straßen weiter und den Stammtisch aus der anderen Richtung.
