Cellphones aren't as prevalent there. They live a much simpler life, yet more sophisticated in culture. They get sleep at night because they work hard.
What the fuck are you even talking about? "More sophisticated in culture". You sound like a liberal arts major who promoted himself to a historian. There is nothing a 3rd world country is more sophisticated in over a 1st world country, that's what makes them 3rd world. Go educate your helmet hair head, cell phones aren't prevalent there because it's one of the poorest nations in the world.

You can google that, dumbass.
Its very flexible anything that makes use of a frequency inverter so you can control the speed can be classed as a train :) you dont even need tracks for example camel trains.
@@hslmedia2663 That's correct for one part, but the main definition of a train is multiple wagons, that's the essence of the noun. If it's only one, it's either a cart or a locomotive depending on the situation. By connected they don't mean connected to the tracks, they mean connected to each other i/e wagons pulling other wagons
@HSLMedia - Well, as far as I read the oxford definition of the noun "train" (at least the ones related to moving vehicles of any sort) it clearly reads either "a series of" or "a number of". Either way, it states there have to be more than just *one*. But I didn't call for any smart alecks to clarify the term for me anyhow. Sometimes it's best to leave a joke uncommented. Take a note.

@SicSemperEvelloMortemTyrannis TyrannyEnder Yeah, that's what happens after war. Europe took decades to recover from WWII, I'd wager south USA still has some issues seeing how I live there and, despite being more than a hundred years, the scars of war still exist in some minor ways. Tyrannical regimes never give power away voluntarily. There's always a fight, and the more they struggle, the more wounds they inflict on future generations. I'd say that the Khmir Rouge struggled quite a bit, seeing how many people still live in fear of their terrorist cells, corrupt government plants, or getting their legs blown off when they step outside because of a 30 year old landmine. We take safety for granted, so we should at least take pride in the fact that our fellow man is adapting despite their situation.

adam sellers amen on the food, went to my dad's small town that he grew up in mexico and got too adventurous with food. I was dog sick for days even on the plane back home xD
Teacher: "So class, after our school trip to Cambodia, tell me what happens when two trains meet on the railway tracks?" Sensible students: "One of the trains gets taken off the tracks so the other can pass, then they put it back on once they've passed." That one kid in the back: "They play chicken!"
there are a lot of railway everywhere in the world that is not being used, but sadly, the people in controll are too stupid to understand that it can still be used, so they instead rip the up from the ground (wich is extremely expensive, another reason why its so stupid...)
In America it doesn't matter which party was smaller or larger. Nobody will back down and gun fight will break out or police call in after a 6 hour stand off because nobody will back down
I spent a year in Vietnam in 1968, 1969. The one thing I've learned about that whole Asian culture is that they make do with what they've got. And this just proves it. They truly can make lemonade from lemons in the phrase adapt and overcome is truly at the top of their vocabulary thanks for the video
They also "share" what little they have. Never met a more hospitable people in my life like the Thais. I was in Thailand during that time, Southeast Asia. Beautiful country......
Yet they seem to be absolutely happy with their way of life and enjoying it! Why we westerners with the latest technology and equipment and freeway systems and with everyone driving their own cars can't seem to get along with each other at times, angry and depressed about little things... Why???
Because the higher your quality of living gets, the more your sorrows will change from fundamental things like food to higher things like entertainment and advancement.
2008romboy its because there to many people reproducing in the us, so they need more transportation, which then requires safety regulations, which make rules in america a hard at times. so judging from this video there isnt much traffic on the rail and they made very simple to move trains simpilar than following traffic rules in the us
I don't think that's it. The birthrate in the US is declining dramatically. I think it has more to do with in the US its survival of the fittest. Work for the machine and the better off you are. The more resources you have the higher up the ladder you get. Always usually making money for someone higher up than you. We work our life away. Here they simply work more for survival. Simple honest work and focusing on caring for family an such.
I agree, and I'm always amazed at how less fortunate people don't act like assholes in the same way we do in western countries. My wife grew up in a less fortunate country and her family are so friendly and helpful, to the point where I'm pretty much ashamed of how most of my family acts. But on the flip side, desperation and lack of education correlates with crime. Cambodia has relatively high murder rates for example. Interestingly enough, murder rates tend to not always correlate with wealth though.
Theres a large collection of videos of a guy going into the 9/11 disaster and looking at everything within hours of it all happening, the camera quality is probably as good as the quality in this video
Such a simple concept and works like a charm... 🤔🤔 I wonder if I could do that at home and going flying down the old tracks that aren’t used anymore?? Looks like fun !
What a thrill that has to be to cruise along in an open railcar enjoying a nice breeze at that speed! No signaling system or radio communication. No way this would be allowed in the USA as the FRA safety bureaucrats would flip their wigs! Amazing how smooth the trackwork is. Of course the weight of these rail cars is very light which helps in the roadbed and track not wearing out so quickly as they would under heavy diesel or steam powered locomotives.
Can you smell the disdain most people have for unwanted visitors. How about I come rumbling by your place at night. Do you greet me with care or a fuck off?
azeleapark you can give me all your stuff any day. And yes our lives are ceteris paribus better than theirs. wealth may not make a life better not it doesn't make it worse either
+JohnC546 looks like an ingenious bit of engineering by a people living in a poor nation, who are making the best of the left over infrastructure from their past. Better this, than the tracks just rot. Atleast they are putting them to VERY good use. What a beautiful bunch of people. That girl was gorgeous. As was the countryside.
Also very efficient. Those engines don't look very powerful (I've heard they use lawn mower engines?) but they're easily shunting cars loaded with people, goods and even motorbikes along.
EVGR Clutch I am kind of slow sometimes, so I had a hard time to understand your comment, sorry. But as a Design student, yeah, I think college students should have this video in mind, since from the simplest, humble creations, we can learn a lot most of the time.
Greg Lopes Er I'm not 100% but Im pretty sure he meant that comment sarcastically as a jab at youtube for recommending this very random video to him during college application time.
Johnny K. Well since it’s not a multi Ton metal beast going 70+mph it takes a lot more than a little bump to send you flying through the air, these are safer because of the slower speed and lighter simple design
Then the one with more passengers in addition to the motorcycle gets right of way. If they both have a motorcycle and equal passengers it is settled by a game of rock, paper, scissors.
If this were the US, first thing that would happen is an argument, then probably a fist fight, then the police will show up, the fire department and the railway police. Tickets will be given and you can bet someone is going to jail. The owners of the track would be called who will in turn sue everyone for using their track illegally. In the mean time, every train currently on that track will have to be stopped, this will also affect the recipients of the cargo this train is scheduled to deliver at a certain time, people are getting paid to do all of this and this affects the bottom line of every business associated with it, we all know this is also a reason to sue whoever you can to recoup money because companies are considered individuals and they have rights. See the mess you have when you live in a capitalistic democracy, and all you had to do was spend a little effort and help each other and get on with your life. Nobody was hurt.
Oh, this is so cute! I like to watch the picture of those guys dismantle the train within the blink of an eye, and those boys hold onto their chickens.

I've never seen these bamboo trains before. Quite unique! I would want to visit Cambodia, if but for this local experience (I'm sure the country has much to offer beyond these trains).

I just find this so fascinating...
Seriously. There's something simple and nice about this system.
I guess it's just that I love simple living.
Forget about your 4K resolution monitors! I just wanna live in a world as simple as this.
nicely said, I agree.
Andrew Kovnat * 1 day later* "mom this new iPhone looks pretty rad!"
well its still the same world
adam sellers amen on the food, went to my dad's small town that he grew up in mexico and got too adventurous with food.
I was dog sick for days even on the plane back home xD
basic simplicity. gets the job done.
Teacher: "So class, after our school trip to Cambodia, tell me what happens when two trains meet on the railway tracks?"
Sensible students: "One of the trains gets taken off the tracks so the other can pass, then they put it back on once they've passed."
That one kid in the back: "They play chicken!"
At first, I was certainly bamboozled
Interesting to see a 2010 video show up now
Sufficient ikr
fuck the past! right?
Older youtube content is better anyways
imagine their bewilderment as to sudden video blow up
Sufficient pewdiepie is right about this
It looks so convenient, they should have these things everywhere
It's called public transport
there are a lot of railway everywhere in the world that is not being used, but sadly, the people in controll are too stupid to understand that it can still be used, so they instead rip the up from the ground (wich is extremely expensive, another reason why its so stupid...)
The transportation in your country must really suck if you think it looks convenient to lift your vehicle to the side every 5 minutes.
we have cars and railways, wtf are you talking about
its simple really
ramming speed and whoever falls first must forfeit the right of way
JS the Canuck yass
Train with smaller party yields. If two equal party sizes meet it's mortal combat
That was the funniest thing I've read in a couple of days.
In America it doesn't matter which party was smaller or larger. Nobody will back down and gun fight will break out or police call in after a 6 hour stand off because nobody will back down
Good point . ..
LoL 😂😂
mortal Kombat, heretic!
I spent a year in Vietnam in 1968, 1969. The one thing I've learned about that whole Asian culture is that they make do with what they've got. And this just proves it. They truly can make lemonade from lemons in the phrase adapt and overcome is truly at the top of their vocabulary
thanks for the video
They also "share" what little they have. Never met a more hospitable people in my life like the Thais. I was in Thailand during that time, Southeast Asia. Beautiful country......
Yet they seem to be absolutely happy with their way of life and enjoying it! Why we westerners with the latest technology and equipment and freeway systems and with everyone driving their own cars can't seem to get along with each other at times, angry and depressed about little things... Why???
Because the higher your quality of living gets, the more your sorrows will change from fundamental things like food to higher things like entertainment and advancement.
2008romboy its because there to many people reproducing in the us, so they need more transportation, which then requires safety regulations, which make rules in america a hard at times. so judging from this video there isnt much traffic on the rail and they made very simple to move trains
simpilar than following traffic rules in the us
I don't think that's it. The birthrate in the US is declining dramatically. I think it has more to do with in the US its survival of the fittest. Work for the machine and the better off you are. The more resources you have the higher up the ladder you get. Always usually making money for someone higher up than you. We work our life away. Here they simply work more for survival. Simple honest work and focusing on caring for family an such.
I agree, and I'm always amazed at how less fortunate people don't act like assholes in the same way we do in western countries. My wife grew up in a less fortunate country and her family are so friendly and helpful, to the point where I'm pretty much ashamed of how most of my family acts.
But on the flip side, desperation and lack of education correlates with crime. Cambodia has relatively high murder rates for example. Interestingly enough, murder rates tend to not always correlate with wealth though.
The camera quality is amazing for 10 years ago
Thankyou for the likes :)
@Morgan same here...🤣🤣
I didn't even realize wtf
8 years ago
Dreden Downen look at when the video was uploaded lmao
Theres a large collection of videos of a guy going into the 9/11 disaster and looking at everything within hours of it all happening, the camera quality is probably as good as the quality in this video
Such a simple concept and works like a charm... 🤔🤔 I wonder if I could do that at home and going flying down the old tracks that aren’t used anymore??
Looks like fun !
michael vinalon loads of people do in the US, just be 100% sure it’s not used beforehand!
What a thrill that has to be to cruise along in an open railcar enjoying a nice breeze at that speed! No signaling system or radio communication. No way this would be allowed in the USA as the FRA safety bureaucrats would flip their wigs! Amazing how smooth the trackwork is. Of course the weight of these rail cars is very light which helps in the roadbed and track not wearing out so quickly as they would under heavy diesel or steam powered locomotives.
this is a really cool ride, even its just a simplistic way of transportation, i can really see the adventure in it
I can just feel the heat and humidity, the sounds and the smells, and the friendliness of the locals.
Can you smell the disdain most people have for unwanted visitors. How about I come rumbling by your place at night. Do you greet me with care or a fuck off?
Absolutely amazing to get to leave Wichita, KS and be able to see an experience that is so very culturally different
In America we all just jump on the front of the train at the same time and do a double front flip over the opposite train and land back on the track.

the simple life....they have a peace, that we, with all our "things," just wish for..
azeleapark no they don't, their life is shitty. they just have low expectations
They're using modern steelwork and combustion engines.
You can't get that from farming and hunting.
It's true; theirs is probably much better than our lives, even though we have everything fancy.
Raccoon. and there you have it folks.....this douchebag who thinks that material possessions and a high i.q. elevates them above others...how pitiful!
azeleapark you can give me all your stuff any day. And yes our lives are ceteris paribus better than theirs. wealth may not make a life better not it doesn't make it worse either
That's some great music. It's kind of like the blues. I love it, wish i knew who it was.
For some reason, this was weirdly interesting and informative on some tiny scale.
Such courteous people. Americans would either start fighting over who has the right of way or just ram each other...
I believe you meant Russians... Americans would just build a second track.
W7ENK LOL
W7ENK nice one hehe
you mean they'd get mexicans to build a second track?
Neat how the drive belts double as carry handles for the rear axle.
anononomous gonna wear down the belt tho
I would love to travel to Cambodia one day, and take a relaxing ride on a bamboo train! How ingenious!
This definitely a tourist attraction. Classic, love to ride this.
That looks like the most hilariously unsafe and ill-maintained mode of transport this side of a Top Gear challenge... I want a go!
+Michael Martin Looks like a lot of fun to me
+JohnC546 looks like an ingenious bit of engineering by a people living in a poor nation, who are making the best of the left over infrastructure from their past. Better this, than the tracks just rot. Atleast they are putting them to VERY good use. What a beautiful bunch of people. That girl was gorgeous. As was the countryside.
+Michael Martin i bet its incredibly reliable though
Also very efficient. Those engines don't look very powerful (I've heard they use lawn mower engines?) but they're easily shunting cars loaded with people, goods and even motorbikes along.
Must be efficient if someone would rather take the railcar than fire up their moped.
that's actually pretty fucking cool, what a chill life that is
Or, more simple : Permutation of the passengers and the 2 vehicles run backwards . It's a very nice and poetic means of transport. Thanks for sharing.
Glad this is recommended, I will always keep this railway in mind when I apply for college.
EVGR Clutch I am kind of slow sometimes, so I had a hard time to understand your comment, sorry. But as a Design student, yeah, I think college students should have this video in mind, since from the simplest, humble creations, we can learn a lot most of the time.
Greg Lopes Er I'm not 100% but Im pretty sure he meant that comment sarcastically as a jab at youtube for recommending this very random video to him during college application time.
This is a great example of where less is more, only two belts to connect and gravity does the rest....so simple.
I'm surprised all that over brush doesn't cause the train to derail. Especially since the "trains", for lack of a better word, look so tenuous.
They don't look like they go fast enough.
Johnny K. Well since it’s not a multi Ton metal beast going 70+mph it takes a lot more than a little bump to send you flying through the air, these are safer because of the slower speed and lighter simple design
smal waight small speed = safe
I was expecting just a passenger swap, like a Chinese fire drill, but this is even funnier.
Imagine what happens if two trains meet and both carry a motorcycle!
what if it rains
WWIII
They have to bust out the Light sabers then.
Then the one with more passengers in addition to the motorcycle gets right of way. If they both have a motorcycle and equal passengers it is settled by a game of rock, paper, scissors.
A death match. The loser has to dissasembly his train.
If this were the US, first thing that would happen is an argument, then probably a fist fight, then the police will show up, the fire department and the railway police. Tickets will be given and you can bet someone is going to jail. The owners of the track would be called who will in turn sue everyone for using their track illegally. In the mean time, every train currently on that track will have to be stopped, this will also affect the recipients of the cargo this train is scheduled to deliver at a certain time, people are getting paid to do all of this and this affects the bottom line of every business associated with it, we all know this is also a reason to sue whoever you can to recoup money because companies are considered individuals and they have rights. See the mess you have when you live in a capitalistic democracy, and all you had to do was spend a little effort and help each other and get on with your life. Nobody was hurt.
+JessicaTG2008 i'm calling bullshit, lol
I love how they can be just disassembled and re made quickly
Oh, this is so cute! I like to watch the picture of those guys dismantle the train within the blink of an eye, and those boys hold onto their chickens.
When i saw the title, i thought the 2 trains were gonna collide. Lol.
yes.
Absolutely fascinating
Beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful trains, beautiful video. Thank you for sharing!
Those sandals are the best
what makes them beautiful? the part where they are so poor they cant afford toilet paper? or the part where they eat food from the garbage?
@@williepierce3933 does someone need a hug?
So nice to reuse those tracks, here in Africa they had long become scrap metal for beer. Love simplicity people got somewhere. Good luck to them.
That is such a cool way to get around
These look more efficient than the trains in the UK, let's do a mass swap 😂
It's no joke. What we have now stops when there is a leaf on the line....
This is very cool. Why rip up stuff when it can still be used? There are times when I wish the US thought like this.
but..but.. its unregulated travel that can cross the entire country with low cost high reward. and they dont get the tole money!
Joe Nickence or mabey we should all stop having so much sex and reproducing more than anyone can die.
its kinda stupid i think all those people having are only doing it because it feels good, not because they love there wife or even want to raise a kid and be responsible. look at africa they may be a bit poorer but defentally have things so much simpiler even if they dont have much or entertainment
Soviet Russian183 maybe become a little more literate before you go and try to share your cancer opinions
Soviet Russian183 Drug lords faults, not ours.
+Soviet Russian183 the first world already is...
This train should be included in the book, "Ten trains you need to ride before you die"!
This family simply just needs to get on the right track!
Incredible simple with imagination. No heath and safety of course but common sense, weighing up risk over practical concerns.
It's a funeral hymn you're hearing in the background, it's meant to sound sad and filled with grief and I think it serves it's purpose well.
I support this because my mother told me the same, she's Cambodian.
I can now see transportation in the past working out. Just from this one video. The way they broke it down. Wow.
why don't they just switch cars?
+Filip Selmer possibly dont have reverse
+Peter S - I think you may have mis-read the OP's question... haha.
+ChrizRockster nope Peter S has a point, those engines are mounted to go only one direction, the kart would need to have a gearbox to go in reverse
+Sean McWall - I think you're missing the fact that Filip Selmer said - "why don't they just switch cars?" - Which has nothing to do with the engine or gearbox. He was merely making a comment, which was witty - but I think Peter missed this and perhaps thought it said "switch gears" or something?
na i still think Filip Selmer didn't put enough thought into his comment
Initially I thought they'd get off and just go on the other bamboo train, but seeing as they are easily dissassembled, it makes more sense.
I gotta make me one of those in my backyard with my leftover Briggs & Stratton gokart motor!
It's pretty fun until the cops take it and destroy it
YES
Johnson Sea Horse
I've never seen these bamboo trains before. Quite unique! I would want to visit Cambodia, if but for this local experience (I'm sure the country has much to offer beyond these trains).
