Taking a Train Journey in Cambodia
Cambodian railways have a long history, but troubled with lines being installed way back when Cambodia was part of French Indochina. There was even a line connecting Siem Reap to Phnom Krom built in the 1890’s, now long since gone. Many of the lines were constructed in the 1930’s including many of the quaint countryside stations noting the art deco master pieces of Phnom Penh, and Battambang. Over the years of war the lines fell into disrepair and became impassable, with engines going off the rails becoming frequent due to the rickety tracks. Things got so bad that by early 2009 commercial rail ceased in Cambodia.

A Motorbike Adventure in the Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia
While the borders are closed to tourism, there is currently no better time to explore Cambodia (for those fortunate enough to remain here now, with very little by way of lockdown). There is nothing quite like being out on the open road on two wheels. Therefore I set off with a friend, a colleague, and a Cambodian specialist, Jake, on an adventure that would take us for a few days through the largely unexplored Cardamom Mountains to the coastal town of Koh Kong. Along the way we would pass stunning scenery, traverse some very rough trails, pass over mine fields (literally) and converse with friendly locals everywhere we stopped….but firstly we had to get into the mountains from our home base here in Siem Reap.
Family Holiday’s in Cambodia
Going on a holiday with young children is always a point of discussion, especially if that holiday is to a developing country like Cambodia. I want to reassure you that the rewards gained by your children for the experience of such a trip will far outweigh your initial trepidation’s and fears. Being based in Cambodia with a very inquisitive 5 year old daughter I can ascertain to the fact that each day is an adventure for her and her friends. We have ventured out on multiple trips around the country and indeed our neighbouring countries (Pre-Covid of course), and always found it to be far easier than expected.
Battambang Highlights
Just a few hours outside the crowds and tourists of Siem Reap lies Battambang, a town important to the former French administration with; a still traditional way of life, lovely residents, and perhaps the most charming countryside in Cambodia. Easily accessible from Siem Reap by private car or a great stop on the overland route from Thailand, we can arrange helicopter transfers in the little used airport which doubles as a city park.
