Such a lovely experience. We all enjoyed the old bamboo train experience. I know there is a modern version. This is run by the local families and is far more authentic. You will stop outside the families stall. You can enjoy coconut drinks; etc. Then after 10 minutes of rest you get back on and return. One of our highlight experiences

If you read about this online, there’s so many mixed reviews. But we had an absolute blast. This was so much fun and you really get to see the paddy fields and landscape. Obviously there’s people trying to sell goods at the end, but the economy has been so ravaged by the pandemic here, as a tourist we have the privilege to help out by buying stuff. So I wear my scarf daily and thank the wonderful women who sold it to me.

OMG this was the best thing ever!... We got here by walking and then tuk tuk, and they made the train up for us directly when we got there! Two wheels on poles put onto a train track, then a bamboo floor placed on the wheel poles, a dude to zoom it along, and we sat on the front . Too much fun! Just do it if you are thinking of it.

We had read pros and cons about this experience. At the end, we decided to see by ourselves. And we did not regret it. Not the biggest thrill of your live. But a lot of fun. We are a couple in their 70´s. And we had fun like kids. We were not harassed, nor in a bad situation at any time. Just be prepared to leave a tip to the driver, and buy one or two drinks at the turning point. Like everywhere else in the world, in fact. End result ? One hour of fun for less than the price of two coffees in Europe. Hard to beat for value.

This is a fun experience. They put the train together in front of you. First the wheels on the rails and then a platform on top of that with the motor. They put down a bamboo mat and then some pillows for you to sit on and then you are off. You go through the countryside looking at fields, peoples houses and countryside for about 15 minutes. At the end stop there are stalls wanting to sell you stuff but they are not aggressive. They turn your platform around and you head back to your starting place. If you meet a train going the other way one of the trains must be disassembled while the other one passes. They then reassemble the train and keep going. The train goes about 25 k so not too fast but you get a breeze which is nice

I thoroughly enjoyed this. We went early in the day so it wasn't too hot. There's no cover so I imagine it could get hot. It was cool to see them assemble the train. Cows along the track, rice fields, and lotus fields. You're dropped off at a small village. There are a few vendors that try to pull you in. Not much else to see at the village. $5.00 USD per person.

We used Pass app to get a Tuk Tuk to the site & the driver waited while we had our ride. We paid $5 per person for the train& the driver set off with us - we had cushions to make the platform a little more comfortable. When we got to a work party maintaining the line the driver took apart the train and rebuilt it the other side & off we went. At one point we crossed a main road which was a bit crazy and then after a while got to a stall selling drinks etc. We had a cold fresh coconut each for $1 per person and then set off back to the start. We came across a couple more trains so again we had the experience of the trains being taken apart and re-built. We really enjoyed this ride, simple pleasure and a reasonable price for a different experience. Also nice to see the countywide. We were really glad we did this visit. We visited quite early in the day before it was too hot as there is no shade.

Fantastic experience. We did it early in the morning although hot once you set off you get the breeze as this little beauty can pick up some speed. Crossing the main road was an adventure. Lots of fun. We stop once so the oncoming train could be pulled apart to let use through. Fascinating watching them pull it apart then set up again. Beautiful driving past rice fields,cows on side of track an little settlements dotted along the way. Enjoyed talking to the locals at the end of line where you can support them by buying a drink for $1. Or purchasing souveniers.Well worth the $5usd and a tip for your driver at the end.

This was a real highlight of my time in Cambodia. We arrived as part of a pre-arranged tour by the railway line. The guys had already assembled the bamboo train - it's literally just a motorbike motor powering some old train wheels with some bamboo acting as the carriage that you sit on. We went in the morning so the temperature was starting to climb but you get a nice breeze as you sail along. Our guide explained that they have the phone number of the conductor on the main Phnom Penh to Battambang train so double check where the train is to make sure there are no issues. We went for about 20 minutes down the track and stopped just before a main road. The guys turned the bamboo trains around and we worked our way back to where we started. It was a great way to see the countryside and experience something quite unique to this part of the world.
