What To Expect
Battambang Bamboo Train, mean norry or nori ( French word for lorry) is an improvised rail vehicle from Cambodia. Lonely Planet describes it as “Cambodia’s bamboo train”. Originally conceived as a logistical fix during the United Nations Transitional Authority of Cambodia period, the original “bamboo train” was a lorry system that operated on Cambodia’s rarely used northern rail line.
Mrs. Bun Roeung's Ancient House
The Mrs. Bun Roeung's Ancient House is one of the 20 heritage Khmer houses in Vat Kor village that is around 100 years old and is made entirely from hardwood. The old-style house has a wide veranda, vintage furniture and lightings and personal items belonging to the owners. The house is currently occupied but you can get a tour of the place and if you are looking for a place to stay, do make inquiries regarding the guest house located on the site. The owners have maintained a few vintage décor items and traditional everyday tools and equipment that use simple mechanism. The old construction consists of a raised floor that can be accessed by a staircase and is surrounded by a small orchard that has fruit plants. The place does take you to a much simpler time. If you love rustic places with a lot of soul and heart, a walk here will be mesmerizing!

Complete tour in Battambang and best English guide!

5.00This is the most complete one-day tour in Battambang, as it covers all the most iconic and interesting sites in the area. We started with a visit to Wat Ek Phnon temple, which is older than Angkor Wat (though sadly in ruins due to the civil war), featuring a giant Buddha and a pagoda. Then, we rode the original bamboo train. Currently, there are two versions, a new one and the old one; this is the old one operated by local workers. I recommend this one for its history, for providing jobs to locals, and for being a more authentic experience. We continued to Phnom Banan temple, where climbing all the stairs was quite a challenge, but worth the effort as the temple is well-preserved. We also visited the infamous Killing Cave, where the story shared by David deeply moved us. Additionally, we enjoyed the natural spectacle of the bats. Along the way, we made several brief surprise stops. No commercial stops. David, our guide, was simply the best. His English was excellent, and he was always very friendly and attentive. He provided us with a wealth of interesting facts about each place we visited, making us feel like we were traveling with a friend. We are interested in Cambodian cuisine and ask him and had the opportunity to discover gastronomy with him, including balut, freshly harvested peanuts, rice cakes, and the best rice sticks in Cambodia. Sam, the driver, was also very considerate. He drove carefully, made stops when needed without making us feel rushed, and was always attentive to our needs. We highly recommend this tour as it is the most comprehensive we've found and the guide is excellent!
