I was sceptical about the bamboo train as it did seem the classic tourist trap with associated cost. Yes, it was expensive ($10) but as my fellow travellers were all ill, I went alone and had my own train. Sat at the front, in the middle and loved it - much to my surprise. It is what it is -...

The trip was all theat the adverts promised. Great fun, but do bring a hat and a shawl. More

It is very funny to ride on a tiny bamboo train, which travel on an old railway section. The biggest fun starts when you meet a bamboi train from the opposite direction. You have to get off the train and the train has to be disassembled to let the upcoming train pass. At the end of the line you stop... More

I thoroughly enjoyed the bamboo train. I'd already read about it and knew what to expect so didn't have any unrealistic expectations like the negative reviewers seemed to. Travelling solo the trip was to cost me $10 so I jumped on with some strangers and had a great time for the $5 fee. Its a novel idea on a single... More

While an interesting idea this attraction seemed the classic tourist rip off. More

The bamboo train is certainly a unique experience. Essentially a plank of wood on wheels, it may not be the safest mode of transport but it's a great way to see some of the surroundings of Battambang. More

A ride on this bamboo train costs 5 dollars, which is money well spent. Where else can you go trundling down a track at what feels like great speed, meet another train coming in the opposite direction, get off the train, disassemble the train, reassemble the train and carry on hurtling down the same track within seconds? Oh and don't... More
