The star rating is my personal rating based of facilities, room comfort & quality and staff service. The hotels with 3 stars should based on this actually get 2 stars but due to their great location the deserve an extra star.

Taking the train from Kampot to Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Image
I love traveling by train so we took the train from Kampot to Phnom Penh. Mind you the train only goes at weekends & holidays. We had been to the train station the day before to buy our tickets. For just 7us$ you travel the whole 118km to Phnom Penh. Our train was supposed to leave at 9:00am but in reality did arrive from Shinoekville at 10:30am. And we arrived at 15:00 in Phnom Penh so it took us about 4hr30min to travel. Top speed of the train was 52km/hr while we would also go sometimes just 20km/hr. No problem we enjoyed our ride.

Train stations in Cambodia, next station Kampot

Image
As you might know by now I love trains and train stations. So when I was in Kampot I did visit Kampot train station. Actually I was a bit disappointed, I thought about colonial French style train stations. But the few train stations that I was were relatively modern designs probably from the 1950's and 1960's. Kampot train station is about 4km north-east of town and takes about 10min to get there by TukTuk. At the train station you can buy your tickets to Shinaoukville or Phnom Penh. For a bit of history about this train station see Photo Documentary on Development of Cambodian Railroads Part 3.
