Earlier history saw Battambang flip-flopping back and forth between <country-region w:st="on">Thailand</country-region> (called <country-region w:st="on">Siam</country-region> before their 20th-century renaming) and <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Cambodia</place></country-region>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 15pt; margin-right: 11.25pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Battambang is the main hub of the Northwest connecting the entire region with <city w:st="on">Phnom Penh</city> and <country-region w:st="on">Thailand</country-region>, and as such it’s a vital link for <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Cambodia</place></country-region>. Battambang city is a peaceful and pleasant place these days. <br />
<br />
The main parts of the city are situated closed to the <placename w:st="on">Sangker</placename> <placetype w:st="on">River</placetype>, a tranquil, small body of water that winds its way through <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Battambang</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Province</placetype></place>. It is a nice, picturesque setting. As with much of <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Cambodia</place></country-region>, the French architecture is an attractive bonus of the city.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CCustomer%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C04%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><smarttagtype name="place" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></smarttagtype><smarttagtype name="country-region" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></smarttagtype><smarttagtype name="City" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></smarttagtype><smarttagtype name="PlaceName" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></smarttagtype><smarttagtype name="PlaceType" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></smarttagtype><style>
