The bamboo train is one of Battambang's main tourist attractions. It consists of a bamboo flatbed over wheels powered by a small engine. It uses the old Cambodian rail network, currently abandoned. The trip on this very improvised vehicle was quite thrilling, and I got to see some of Battambang's beautiful countryside.

Every day, around 6.5 million bats leave the Phnon Sampov caves at sunset to start their night's hunt. We sat in front of the cave, cold beer in one hand and our cameras in the other, looking at the endless streams of flying bats 🦇.

Today I arrived to Battambang. Hard to believe this is Cambodia's 2nd biggest city. Way less touristy than Siem Reap and full of beautiful colonial buildings, Battambang is a very charming city, luring me to stay longer. As you might have already noticed, I have a sweet tooth. I love trying the local sweets of each city I visit, and today was no exception.
