Bamboo train In Battambang




 Are you looking for an adrenaline rush? If you are, then you might want to take your chances on Battambang's famous train ride.

Basically, its story is this: it’s a train made out of bamboo. Why? So that it’s ultra-light. Which means that when the bigger, faster & more expensive trains come barreling down the train tracks, the bamboo train can be disassembled and put to the side (with enough time to avoid a collision). It’s a cheap and relatively easy way for locals to get around and locally transport their goods. The train is still used to transport locals with their wares from one point to the other but for a cheap price, you can get on and experience this for your self's.

So for those who are visiting, catching this train is a must.  It's exciting and you will probably never get another chance if you don't soon since Cambodia is now working on the main rail system which will bring an end to most funnest roller coaster train ride in Battambang.

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

                        (Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen.   Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks.
