Train Sihanoukville

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Was interesting to note that 95% or more of the passengers were [ asian ? ] Cambodians ?



GM , is it worth merging these threads ?
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.

At work right now, but seems like a valid option.

I went back to the Sihanoukville train station today to have my ticket redone due to an error by the seller. No one was around but I finally found the seller from the other day and guess what, he now speaks English (he didn't when I went to originally buy the ticket.) What a fast learner. Learning English in one day. :-)

I am impressed a local learning English in one day but a long term expat cannot speak enough Khmer to be understood. Did you stand there and say the same sentence over and over in English with increasing volume to get your point over.

What a typical arrogant merican comment.

Those are nice trains, I'm going to get one just to check it out. There were passenger trains still running when I was here first, but the carriages and stock and rails were really messed up, so it would take 13 hours to Sihanoukville.


There are better versions of this out but it has some good train footage, besides being an amazing film.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
