I am visiting Cambodia next month as part of a 3 month trip around South East Asia. Anything fun to do in Cambodia other than go to Angkor Wat? There doesn’t seem to be much else to do in Cambodia.

Try taking the train from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville. This service only started in April 2016. The last passenger train services ran in 2005. This is something not many foreign visitors to Cambodia have tried yet. The word is yet to get out and this is a great time to try the train service before it becomes a part of the main South East Asia tourist circuit. Sihanoukville is also Cambodia’s premier beach resort and a good place to relax for a couple days before you travel onward either to Vietnam or Thailand.
Ticket and Train Stations
You can now buy Cambodia train tickets in advance online. It is also possible to turn Phnom Penh Train Station the evening before and you will be able to purchase a ticket for the next day. Please note, however, that on weekends and public holiday trains can be very busy.
Train to SihanoukvilleThe way to get the best seats is to book your tickets online. Phnom Penh train station is conveniently located in the centre of Phnom Penh Vity and not far from areas popular with foreign visitors. Its easy to make a quick trip to the railway station whilst exploring the city.
