Overview

The uniqueness of Battambang's Bamboo Train lies in its status as an improvised, locally-operated rail vehicle built from bamboo and a small motor, which provides a unique way to experience the rural landscape. Originally created as a practical, low-cost solution for transporting goods on abandoned railway lines, the current "norry" is now a popular tourist attraction offering a glimpse into Cambodia's ingenuity and providing a supplementary income for local families.

Battambang Provincial Museum is a museum in Kamkor village, Svay Por commune, Battambang Province, western Cambodia. It was established in 1963 by Madeleine Giteau. It houses a notable pre and Angkorian collection of pottery, statuary, and musical instruments.

What to expect

  1. 2h · Admission ticket not included
    BAMBOO TRAIN is located 20kms outside Battambang at Banan Mountain. The train consists of a bamboo platform on train tracks, powered by a small motor and driven by a lorry driver. These days you may have a woman lorry driver which is a sign of how the culture in Cambodia is changing. Your train journey offers beautiful mountain views, great for wonderful photos.
  2. Phnom Sampeau
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The killing caves of Phnom Sampeau are a Khmer Rouge execution site on Phnom Sampeau, a hill 7 mi (11 km) southwest of Battambang in western Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge killed their victims on top of the cave at the rim of a daylight shaft or ceiling hole and then threw the dead body into the cave. Men and women were placed in separate caves and clothes in another. There are a number of caves at Phnom Sampeau (Sampeau Hill) that have traditionally served as Buddhist temples. Today there is a large glass memorial in the cave next to the skulls and bones and a golden reclining Buddha, that can be reached via a staircase. A memorial, assembled from cyclone fencing and chicken wire contains human bones at the base of the stairway. Also you can spend your evening to watch million of bats fly out from caves.
  3. Battambang Provincial Museum
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The Battambang Provincial Museum, also known as the Former Residence of Lord Abhaiwongse, is one of the most historically significant colonial-era buildings in Battambang, Cambodia. Located in the heart of the city, this beautiful heritage building reflects the region's unique history and the transition from Siamese to French administration.
    The building was constructed in 1905 during the period when Battambang was under Siamese (Thai) rule. It was commissioned by Lord Kathathon Chhum (Abhaiwongse), the governor of Battambang, who intended it to serve as his private residence. The mansion was designed by an Italian architect from Bangkok, combining elegant European architectural styles with features suited to Cambodia's tropical climate.
  4. 1h · Admission ticket not included
    Battambang is home to some of Cambodia's finest and best-preserved traditional Khmer wooden houses. Many of these historic homes, particularly those in Wat Kor Village, are more than 100 years old and provide a fascinating glimpse into the lifestyle, craftsmanship, and prosperity of Cambodian families during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
