Phnom Penh Bamboo Train
Phnom Penh Bamboo Train http://www.hotsia.com > Phnom Penh > Bamboo Train A railway built over a hundred years ago by the French. Some routes are no longer in use, so locals created their own bamboo trains. These are bamboo platforms placed on wheels with small engines attached, using a belt to turn the wheels, allowing them to run swiftly. Locals use them to travel between villages over distances of about 10 kilometers. Later, tourists began to enjoy this unique ride.
It is now open for tourists to ride, with a price of 10 USD per trip. The train takes us to a local village where we can stroll and experience the real countryside. I was lucky to ride a horse cart with a villager returning from the garden, an unforgettable impression. Afterwards, we took the bamboo train back to the starting station. There is no need to worry about oncoming trains since regular trains have stopped running. When two bamboo trains meet, one must be lifted off the track. The drivers know how to manage this smoothly.
The real thrill of riding the bamboo train is the high speed on the railway tracks, accompanied by authentic train sounds. The wind blows strongly on our faces, and the view of lush forest on both sides makes the ride into the woods very enjoyable. Unfortunately, I heard that the bamboo train might be discontinued because the rails will be used for real trains, which is inevitable as development progresses. So if you want to ride the bamboo train, which could be the last run anytime, you must decide to visit Phnom Penh today.
