Check out this bamboo train! It was started by locals in the 1970's, and had its heyday in the 80's, used to transport people and goods on a one-way bit of track, before there were decent roads. In the frequent event that a big train would come, or when two bamboo trains meet, two drivers simmply lift the platform with the engine off the wheels, move the wheels off the track, let the other guy pass by, and put the kit back together again. In the next few years, the government of Cambodia is planning to rebuild the track for a modern train, which will put the bamboo train, and the little villages that depend on its tourism revenue, into extinction.
I also visited a hilltop buddhist temple thing which had a cave, and a nice view.
