点评:We were looking forward, as other reviewers wrote, to seeing the scenery from Kampot to Phnom Penh on our 4 pm ride. The train station is in the middle of nowhere. If the vendors weren't there, I would have felt less comfortable. There were no announcements. The ticket agent said nothing about the half hour delay. All our info came from speaking with tuktuk drivers who were waiting for fares. Finally the tram arrived...a one car engine/Compartment that seats about 40 people. Basically a bus on rails. The one toilet was indescribable. People covered their faces every time someone opened its door. The odor wafted through the entire car. We moved closer to the front of the car, where an engineer, conductor, and two other staff sat. It did transport us; it did not break down. But it was far from the romantic voyage imagined. If it were a train in any western culture, the 3 unsupervised children and their apathetic nanny would have been thrown off the train. Screaming, punching, kicking, and torturing other passengers was permitted. I was forced to discipline them twice for our own safety. In addition, by moving to the front of the train, where the door to the engine was kept open, we had to listen to the constant warning whistle as we passed through road crossings. Bring earplugs. There are no beverages or food on board. Bring your own snacks. Use the bathroom before you go. Painfully slow ride. We finally arrived in Phnom Penh at 9pm, an hour late. Pros: price of $10, and the scenery, while there was daylight, was stunning and not what you see from the road... farms, rice fields, mountains and glimpses of the more pastoral aspects of Cambodian life and landscapes.
翻译:正如其他评论家所写的那样,我们期待在下午 4 点的车程中看到从贡布到金边的风景。火车站位于一个偏僻的地方。如果供应商不在那里,我会感觉不太舒服。没有任何公告。售票员对延误半个小时的事只字不提。我们所有的信息都来自与等待车费的嘟嘟车司机的交谈。电车终于到了……一辆单引擎/车厢,可容纳约 40 人。基本上是轨道上的公共汽车。一个厕所简直难以形容。每当有人开门时,人们都会捂住脸。整个车里都弥漫着臭味。我们靠近汽车前部,那里坐着一名工程师、售票员和另外两名工作人员。它确实运送了我们;它没有崩溃。但这与想象中的浪漫之旅相去甚远。如果这是西方文化中的火车,这三个无人看管的孩子和他们冷漠的保姆就会被扔下火车。尖叫、拳打脚踢和折磨其他乘客是允许的。为了我们自己的安全,我被迫对他们进行了两次纪律处分。此外,由于移动到火车前部,发动机门保持打开状态,因此当我们通过道路交叉口时,我们必须听到持续不断的警告哨声。带上耳塞。船上没有饮料或食物。带上自己的零食。走之前先去洗手间。缓慢的骑行令人痛苦。我们终于在晚上9点到达金边,晚了一个小时。优点:价格 10 美元,白天的风景令人惊叹,而不是你在路上看到的……农场、稻田、山脉,以及柬埔寨生活和风景的田园风光。
