Looking for a break from ancient ruins? Phum Begonia (Begonia Flower House) is a vibrant splash of color nestled in the lush countryside of Battambang. It isn't just a garden; it is a purpose-built paradise designed specifically for photography and weekend relaxation.

A Photographer's Playground

The garden is famous for its creative backdrops. Instead of just rows of plants, you will find whimsical setups including:

• The Bird Nests: Giant woven nests you can sit in for a unique aerial-style photo.
• The Garden Piano: A vintage piano set among the blooms for that perfect "fairytale" shot.
• Floral Archways: Long tunnels draped in colorful blossoms that create incredible depth in your pictures.

Depending on when you visit, you might see massive fields of sunflowers, bright marigolds, or delicate cosmos flowers. The owners rotate the crops to ensure there is always something in bloom.

Pro-Tips for Your Visit

• Golden Hour is Key: The park is an open field. To avoid harsh shadows on your face, visit at 4:30 PM. The lighting is magical and the temperature is much cooler.
• Outfit Choice: Since the flowers are very bright (pinks, yellows, reds), wear white or light-colored clothing to make yourself stand out in the photos.
• Stay Hydrated: There are small stalls selling cold coconut water and sodas at the entrance—support the locals and grab a drink before you start your walk!

Combine Your Trip!

Phum Begonia is located on the way to Prasat Banan (Banan Temple). We recommend visiting the flower house first to get your photos while you're looking fresh, and then heading to the temple for the sunset climb.
