Bullet trains to Burma in the works, thanks to Japos

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Some countries run high speed passenger trains and slower freight trains over the same track, could be their plan. If done right would be a boon for all the countries involved. Talk of high speed passenger trains sounds sexier, but it is moving freight that will have the greatest economic impact.
In theory, why not, could be good for trade. But in reality, Cambodia would be the missing link. They can't even install a freight line from S'ville to PP, which is desperately needed. Sorry but I vote for :ROFL2:

For Budda's sake, don't rush them. Right now Cambodia is concentrating on getting a rubbish collecting going, THEN they will get on with the small problems like trains and boats and planes...........

.go passing by, they mean a trip to Paris or Rome, but not for me, the trains and the boats and planes, da da da da
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

You made me smile! Where did those old Burt Bacharach lyrics come from? Imagine they must have just popped into your head as you wrote about trains.

Speaking of trash collection, do you think Cambodia will ever discover the trash can?
I wish I knew a whole lot more, or a whole lot less.
