Battambang is Cambodiaβs second-largest city, sitting in the northwest of the country near the Thai border. It is surrounded by Cambodiaβs most fertile rice-growing plains and has a distinctive collection of French colonial-era buildings that survived the Khmer Rouge period better than much of the rest of the country. The city has a reputation as one of Cambodiaβs most livable provincial capitals.
The clock is Indochina Time, UTC+7. The IANA identifier is Asia/Phnom_Penh, shared with Bangkok and all of Indochina. No daylight saving.
Cambodia adopted UTC+7 during the French colonial period and has kept it ever since. At 13 degrees north latitude, the country has minimal seasonal daylight variation. The seasonal rhythm is dominated by the monsoon: wet season from May to October, dry season from November to April. The rice calendar, not the clock, determines the yearβs major work periods.
Battambangβs bamboo train, a local invention for moving produce along old French railway tracks using bamboo platforms powered by small engines, became a tourist attraction before the tracks were restored and replaced with actual trains. The improvised solution said something about how the country adapted to decades of disruption.
