It looks as though the train driver had quite an obstructed view of the track and couldn't stop in time.
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

Add to that the fact that the driver was busy posting his nth "saart nas b" comment of the day. Priorities.

What's with hanging out/ sleeping/ doing drunk people stuff on train tracks here?

A lot of these aren't accidents, they are suicides.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

To be fair I can't imagine stopping a 100+ tonne train in time to not run over some drunk dude who just appeared in the headlights is very easily accomplished
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

This.

Is that a thai cop? Pointing is much more common over there.

Yes in my old place back in Lancashire three of my young school friends chose that way (one in his pyjamas with his favorite teddy bear alongside him). Tragic.
