It is planned to be released in late 2016.Aside from hitting the big screen soon, Battambang has some good restaurants, cafes and bars. For a coffee run, try the Kinyei Cafe on the famous Street 1.5, it serves good food and freshly baked cakes.
To investigate the nightlife in Battambang, we popped into the vibrant and very friendly Buffalo Alley bar where Charlie was instantly employed as an impromptu English teacher by the staff.
