What makes Bamboo Train & Wat Ek Phnom (Siem Reap to Battambang) a unique experience ?
WAT EK PHNOM is an 11th century ancient temple, 13 kms north of the city. This temple was a Hindu style temple under the rule of King Suryavarman and has some interesting sandstone carvings. On the top of the mountain is a Buddhist Pagoda where Buddhist monks meditate and practice the rules of Buddha.
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.
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.
