Bamboo Train Battambang

Battambang

    A few years ago, the railway line from Phnom Penh to Battambang was renovated. Despite warnings that bamboo trains were no longer allowed on this track, this was often overlooked. Recently, a near-miss occurred between a bamboo train and a regular train. As a result, the authorities and Royal Railway have decided to completely ban bamboo trains for safety reasons. While this is unfortunate, it's understandable. We wouldn't want any accidents to happen.

    The governor of Battambang has built a new railway line with a bamboo train track about 25 km outside of the city. In our opinion, this has lost all the charm and authenticity of the original experience. It's now more like a fairground attraction, which might be fun for locals but is less appealing to international tourists. Therefore, we won't be offering this as part of our tours. Guests who are interested can still arrange this independently through their hotel.
