The train journey in Cambodia was considered very
dangerous.
Now it becomes quite safe mean of traveling.
Many travelers are having an experience,
one of the most interesting train journey |
|
|
|
|
The cost of train was very cheap,
however the good old era was already over.
Now they set special fare for foreign travelers.
But they are still cheaper than taking a truck. |

There are two lines. Between Phnom Penh & Battambang
and between Phnom Penh & sihanoukville via Kompot. Two trains
leave from the PP train station at the same time, every other
day 6:30. (I think MWF morning.) On TuThSa, he trains are coming
back to PP. The train station is open only in the morning of
the day the trains leave, until 7:00am. |

The quality of the trains are very bad as you see.
I found only 3 carriages which have seats. |
|
|
|
|
I arrived at the train station at 6:00.
The trains are already packed. Many people are sitting on the
roof top. |
|
|
|
|
At 6:00, 2 more foreigners turned up try
to buy the tickets,
but they were told "SOLDOUT".
They were negotiating for 30 min and could buy tickets finally.
Very lucky |
