Awesome video. I think it's cool how they find ingenious to reuse things like old tank parts or exploded shells and stuff. Those things are actaully pretty fast, looks fun to ride. Subscribed.
Railway is so compromised, then real trains must proceed slowly. These little rail sleds are absolutely brilliant. Lightweight, faster than real trains and cheap to run.
I love my country! The best time to go is before the harvest, when the rice field is green. My families lived in Osalov Battambang, I saw a few 'norries' when I was there. I'll definitely will hop on one next time I visit--which is Dec 27, 2008
Can't do that here in the US. Even thought the lines are long since abandoned they still own them and prosecute any who walk, rides or anything else on them. I had a friend with a railbike. He road on a 80 year abandoned line. Someone saw him and the Company had him arrested for Trespassing.
Khmer people always find the way how to make their lives so simple no matter how many wars that tried to destroy their Khmer identity. Angelina Jolie was so amazed by Khmer people.
@RRED2 you should go visit cambodia. i absolutely loved it there, the people are nice and friendly, everything is inexpensive, and it is an absolutely beautiful country. i went to phnom penh, siem riep, kampong song, and to the angkhor wat temples. just pack comfy shoes and loose thin clothes... it is very very very hot there.
What a wonderful idea! And, no bloody 'red-tape' saying "you can't do that because"! If there is any arguments, they just lift the 'floor' off the wheels and where is the train, it can't have been us because we have no trains! LOL! Like it a lot. Common sense is a wonderful thing if you let it happen.
They'd try to look beforehand as far as they could, I would think, and decide if they can make it or not. If they're on the bridge, I guess all you could do is grab it and run really fast. You know?
smart.. but go to Bicol, Philippines & you will see faster and pimped skates like those u saw on the video. By the way, here in the Philippines we call them Skates.
i have a question. what type of khmer do you gus think they spoke back in the khmer empire days. around the time they built angkor wat did they speak wit phnom penh accent, siem reap accent, khmer surin accent? im just wondering what type did they speak?
they'd best! i admire their ingenuity and how they have the freedom to practice it! they're lucky they can have norries and drive "just so", here we can't even drive a bicycle without a helmet, our government's turning us into idiots! may they roll for a long time!
Man! And people rip up on Amtrak! These passenger cars are in very rough shape. Understandable with a depressed economy. Looks like the public is able to make do with what they have.
i believe that in the future cars will run on rail networks because runing on rails is far more efficient than driving on conventional roads because there is far less road friction ... in this way i believe those inginius poor cambodians are already into the future ... :) !
While this is truly boot-strap rail tourism, this is the way one has to go if you really want to experience, real tourism. The westerners whom go first class miss the real world. All they see are is fancy hotels and restaurants. Not real people and true asian people and customs. I'll travel the rougher road anyday. It is real way of the world. Travel second class, it actually more fun!
i didnt ask waht funan and chenla is. that i already know. they are the the groups of khmer people before the khmer empire. my question was, in the angkor time, what type of accent did the khmer people have?? they the ysound like surn khmer? or siem reap khmer? or phnom penh khmer? go read my question agian
@insanox Aaah, you sit on the train you must be carrefool! (1:28). Lots of people wonder what to do should you encounter a bridge. Well, there are no bridges over there, only the ones the train drives over at for instance crossing a river. Reading the comments people should be careful on what they write. What a load of crap! swearing, cursing and humiliating other people in the face of the entire world is rude. Be CARREFOOL fellows!
Cambodia? hah!!! China is the strongest country in the world!! did u watch Beijing Olympics?? and we have a long history.. that's why everybody loves China!! woot!!!
what are THEY producing? not the tracks, not the engines, not even the wheels. only the bamboo frameworks. oh well, better than sitting around doing nothing, i suppose.
That is so true. Also here in the Netherlands you cannot do anything yourself. Build yourself an electric kart that will travel 15 km\h and some idiot policeman will give you a ticket and take away your fun stuff. hello i can travel 50km/h on my bicicle and no one will say a word. strange insn't it?
So glad they revived this in Battambang. It should be a world heritage site!

I rode this in April 06, a LOT OF FUN
Cool, been on them. Cambodia is such awesome place.

This looks like so much FUN!
PEOPLE ARE creative.
life there looks so simple and comfortable...
i love that way of using the tracks !
This bamboo train is known around the world without an ads gagaga sometimes it makes other people jealous.
Sweet! Forget buying an old Fairmont speeder, I'll just build one of these!
What nice place I want go combodia...after watching this video😂😂 I am from India and I love...

thx alot for the cool video :D always more than happy to learn about my country :) Cambodian pride!!
Nice to know the human spirit is still alive in some corners of the world. Great video.
Miss my childhood life to see this video 😭
I have done that a few years ago. It's as fun as hell.
Bamboo train looks fun. I like to try that some day.
I think this is an awesome! This wud be a cool way to travel!
very good video, thanks.
Khmer people always find the way how to make their lives so simple no matter how many wars that tried to destroy their Khmer identity. Angelina Jolie was so amazed by Khmer people.

wow this is awesome, very innovative
I wanna ride a norrie. It looks fun.

Bamboo Railway is very funny !
I like it
The "proper" trains have packed up now but the bamboo ones still going strong around Battambang.
How fun and interesting.
Hope no one is hurt by wheel failures or derailments.
How fast? Could not hear.
pretty sweet
Idealne są te drezyny.
Maybe Australia should adopt this system... at least these people are smiling .... and it works!
If they built more railways, the "norries" would be one of the world's most efficient transport system.
impresionante.! pensar que yo empiezo a ladrar cuando falla el aire acondicionado del tren constitucion -bahia blanca
Wow! interesting indeed :-)
@Journeyman ought to re-upload these old videos .. they are worthy of more than this 240p Nokia resolution.
@RRED2 you should go visit cambodia. i absolutely loved it there, the people are nice and friendly, everything is inexpensive, and it is an absolutely beautiful country. i went to phnom penh, siem riep, kampong song, and to the angkhor wat temples. just pack comfy shoes and loose thin clothes... it is very very very hot there.
Ingenius

I'll never complain about Amtrak again. :P
Seriously though, good for them.
DAMN cool!
we want to support you by putting up with an advert, but 30 seconds is about the max otherwise we click out..
They'd try to look beforehand as far as they could, I would think, and decide if they can make it or not. If they're on the bridge, I guess all you could do is grab it and run really fast. You know?
WIsh I could make one and use it to get to town here..towns 10 miles away..its a shame theres missing track and paved over crossings :(
That is smart
how fun
Good point; we'd better not cause a hurricane right?
If you don't have any control over something, why worry about it instead of doing something else?
smart.. but go to Bicol, Philippines & you will see faster and pimped skates like those u saw on the video. By the way, here in the Philippines we call them Skates.
i think i will make my rusty pickup into a Norry!
Thats brilliant! Would you be able to ride on the roof of the train in England? Would you fook!
"Hay harbor freight has predator engines now! FUCK WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE OLD GRAYHOUND ENGINES???"
i need one of those
my khmer people, always got sumfin in mind to doso thoughtful
i have a question. what type of khmer do you gus think they spoke back in the khmer empire days. around the time they built angkor wat did they speak wit phnom penh accent, siem reap accent, khmer surin accent?
im just wondering what type did they speak?
Khmer surin. И русский мат, если слон наступил на ногу
@onetowatch111 Thats a VERY good question...
This motor from motocycle bike?
they'd best!
i admire their ingenuity and how they have the freedom to practice it!
they're lucky they can have norries and drive "just so", here we can't even drive a bicycle without a helmet, our government's turning us into idiots!
may they roll for a long time!
we have a lot more like that here in the philippines
Man! And people rip up on Amtrak! These passenger cars are in very rough shape. Understandable with a depressed economy. Looks like the public is able to make do with what they have.
Ce varza e linia!
thats what im thinking!
Not if you don't want to get pulverised on a bridge or be fried to a cinder on electrified routes.
I've got one word for this... OSHA.
i believe that in the future cars will run on rail networks because runing on rails is far more efficient than driving on conventional roads because there is far less road friction ... in this way i believe those inginius poor cambodians are already into the future ... :) !
Ask Shah Rukh Khan to come to Cambodia and dance on this train (same as Chaiya Chaiya song)
Either that or 3' gauge.
@PandaLuver84 I have the same problem. Many of my relatives mock me for it.
While this is truly boot-strap rail tourism, this is the way one has to go if you really want to experience, real tourism.

i didnt ask waht funan and chenla is. that i already know. they are the the groups of khmer people before the khmer empire.
my question was, in the angkor time, what type of accent did the khmer people have?? they the ysound like surn khmer? or siem reap khmer? or phnom penh khmer?

Fast? 50kmph?/
@misterallan1 lol! me too^^

@insanox Aaah, you sit on the train you must be carrefool! (1:28). Lots of people wonder what to do should you encounter a bridge.
