Hotel Battambang: Why have we built Maisons Wat Kor?

In the late 70s, when removing the Khmer regime, a young boy, named Kim Nou, frequently made trips to the Tonle Sap Lake to fish with others in the same village. One day, while they were on their way to the lake, the oxcart wheel broke. A family nearby rushed to hand them a special type of wood used to manufacture the trolley wheels. It is with natural hospitality and intent that the family invites everyone to their table to eat once the wheel is fixed. They sit together before cooked meals and offer them with love, as if they were all family. Obviously, in rural Cambodia, mutual aid and conviviality are values that we share.

This memory belongs to Kim Nou, the then-young boy, who is now the founder of the Hotel in Batttambang. At Maisons Wat Kor, it is important for everyone to preserve and maintain these values of the heart of Cambodian tradition, specifically in the province of Battambang.

That is why we are targeting a specific purpose at our hotel Maisons Wat Kor: Develop local expertise to ensure the direct redistribution of the economic benefits of our facility to the local community.

Despite the intrinsic charm of Cambodia, it is worrisome to see how the country tends to prefer contemporary designs akin to those of China’s urban apartments to our traditional style of houses. Thus, the Wat Kor homes in our resort are built under the traditional architecture of our culture and our traditions. We encourage guests, who come from all over the world, to understand and protect the essence of our architecture. We allow our guests to explore Khmer food through unique culinary experiences. Our cuisine is inspired by family meals and we serve dinner every night in similar hospitality.

Wat Kor Village has preserved over time beautiful authentic wooden houses, creating a rural atmosphere that is only possible to find in the countryside. Some locals will tell you that the modern architecture of their houses looks more and more like Chinese trend and said “We agreed that the Wat Kor houses would reflect the Cambodian tradition, in all its greatness and in harmony with nature.”

From architecture to nature, there is no doubt that our Wat Kor Houses were built on true values. The location of our hotel, in the south of Battanbang city, will seduce you with its endearing beauty. As soon as you arrive in Wat Kor Village, you will feel right at home.
