Bamboo Train (Norry)
Imagine riding a flat bamboo raft on wheels powered by a small engine, zooming through rice fields on old railway tracks.
Battambang is one of Cambodia’s most charming cities, sitting in the heart of a landscape covered in lush rice paddies and golden fields. Walking through its streets feels like traveling back in time, with elegant old buildings from the French colonial era lining the riverfront and giving the city a calm, storybook atmosphere. Ancient temples rise from nearby hilltops, including one where millions of bats pour out of caves at sunset in a breathtaking swirling cloud, and another that locals sometimes compare to the legendary Angkor Wat.
What really sets Battambang apart is its mix of history, nature, and quirky adventure. The city sits in a province famous across Cambodia for producing rice, and the surrounding countryside is beautiful to explore. One of the most unforgettable experiences here is hopping aboard a rattling bamboo platform that shoots along old railway tracks through open fields at surprising speed, giving riders a thrill unlike anything else in the country.
