Cambodia’s second largest city is Battambang.  Located midway between Phnom Penh and Thailand, it has a very different atmosphere and lifestyle compared to the other tourist cities of Cambodia. Battambang has really only opened up to the tourist market in the last couple of years.  What you will find in Battambang is a beautiful, French Colonial city almost untouched by modern, western influences.

One thing that Battambang was lacking was a western orientated venue for the many travellers and western folk who work throughout Cambodia.  Now, there is the Bus Stop Bar & Guesthouse.  Opened in July 2007 and extended and fully renovated in June 2008, everything is squeaky clean, modern and ready for use.

Bus Stop Bar & Guesthouse offers genuine Western entertainment without losing the appeal of the Khmer arts.  Whether you are after a real English Breakfast or Tasty western food, or need to check your email on the bar’s lightning fast WIFI internet, Bus Stop Bar & Guesthouse can accommodate you.  Feeling a bit homesick and want to watch your favourite TV shows or the latest Movies? Bus Stop Bar & Guesthouse has the largest English language Movie and TV show collection in Battambang, if not Cambodia.  All the latest movies can be watched on demand.  Need live Sport? If there is a game on, The Bus Stop Bar will happily screen it for you.

One thing is for sure, Bus Stop Bar & Guesthouse will always keep those drinks icy cold for your enjoyment.  They have a fully equipped bar with a great range of beer and all your favourite spirits from back home (Even Bundy Rum for the Aussies).  With Rock ‘n Roll music it makes for a great night out.

Bus Stop Bar & Guesthouse can be found easily.  It’s only moments away from the river, around the corner from The Smoking Pot Restaurant and next door to The White Rose Restaurant.  About 75m from Psar Nat, the central markets of Battambang.

So when you are in Battambang you know the place to be.  Open for breakfast in the morning till the last drinks at night. Bus Stop Bar & Guesthouse is where it’s at in Battambang.
