    I wish I could give you better net throwing lessons. Cast nets are the way I've caught bait for 40 years. It takes technique and you have to prepare the net exactly right to get a good circle. That looks like a wonderful adventure! I would love to fish with a rod for the giant catfish and other big fish in those rivers.

    • @readysteadybackpack
      @readysteadybackpack 7 днів тому

      It definitely takes technique and skill to get a good catch! I think I’d need a bit more practice to get it right 😅 Our guide actually caught a catfish in one of the lines he set and left but as he pulled it up out of the water it got away…it was huge! Best of luck with your fishing endeavours 😊

    • @readysteadybackpack
      @readysteadybackpack Місяць тому

      Hi Jay! The road out of Siem Reap was a main road so the condition was absolutely fine. Once you turn off the main road the condition is still okay but there are scattered potholes occasionally that you should be careful of. Aside from that it’s a cemented road. The actual dirt track to the temple is a little bumpier and dusty so I would recommend driving slow here - we had a couple of skidding moments. I hope this information helps! Have a fun trip 😊

    I was wondering if your ticket allows you to get off and walk around interesting places along this trip and the return to the next train on the same ticket? And do they run often enough to be able to get back on in a couple of hours? Or perhaps there is not much interesting close these train stations? I've traveling to and from KL to Ipoh and George Town, and enjoyed those rides and cities where I stayed for a couple of days each. But enough to return again? Not sure. Any train rides you recommend in Asia and if so, what was interesting about them?

    • @readysteadybackpack
      @readysteadybackpack 8 місяців тому

      Hey Bob! Aside from stopping occasionally to get food as seen in the video, there was no chance to stop and explore the villages on the route. The train we got was the only one that day starting very early in the morning. However we were travelling during their religious holiday so train times may have been affected by this. I don’t have an up to date train schedule! This would have been the most interesting train ride in Asia I have done so far - purely due to novelty of riding through the jungle. There is now a new bullet train that runs all the way through Laos to China which is very comfortable and indeed very very quick! So if you fancy checking out China (the line ends in Kunming), this is an easy and relatively cheap way of doing so. My other suggestion is Cambodias bamboo train - not so much to get to a destination, but very interesting to see how locals travel and to get a good insight into the history of the country. I filmed this in the Battambang Vlog. If you have not been to Cambodia I would highly encourage to go, it is rich in culture, history and amazing food!

  • @magicbobNJ
    @magicbobNJ 8 місяців тому

    Hi guys! Love this video. I'm hoping you can help me as I am considering taking this train only because your video has inspired me. I travel to Asia a lot. I'm a 70-year-old solo traveler. Last year I was in Malaysia twice as well as Sri Lanka. But after a while you run out of things to do in the particular country that are of interest to you. I'm not a beach person. m My excitement is from culture, food and making new friends. Have you taken the beautiful train through the tea plantations in Sri Lanka as I did? Because looking at your video it looks like what you were seeing through the window is similar to that and if so what would I gain as a new experience by taking this jungle train? I got dengue fever in Laos in 2019 and now the risk of internal bleeding from dengue is greater on a second infection if from a different variant than the one I have antibody's against. So I'm always concerned about jungles and waterfall things due to mosquitoes. Any experience - were their mosquitoes? Do you know if Dengue is prevalent in this area if not in the rainy season?

    • @readysteadybackpack
      @readysteadybackpack 8 місяців тому

      Hi Bob! Thank you for your comment! The jungle train was indeed a fantastic experience, though we have not yet been to Sri Lanka so unfortunately cannot compare to that. The train itself is very modern, so in that respect nothing unique though it is comfortable. The jungle was impressive, however would I choose to do it again? Probably not. It was a means to get to our next destination. We were using the jungle train to get to the jungle (taman negara). If you are in the area and it becomes an option then I would recommend, otherwise, if you are not wanting to go to the jungle, it would not be something I would choose. With regard to dengue, I am not a medical professional so cannot advise, however information for dengue fever in Malaysia can be found here: www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/destinations/asia-east/malaysia Closer into the central areas of Malaysia, yes, we were using a lot more insect repellent as mosquitos become more prevalent. And cases are continuing to rise in urban areas. I assume you have travelled to Penang - they had some of the best food I have ever eaten! The Philippines is also another amazing country to explore if you are looking for a new adventure, we will be back for the second time in a couple of weeks!

      Hi Paul! Exmouth town itself is on the east coast of a peninsula and Cape Range National Park straddles the west coast and comes into the middle of the peninsula. So when at a high point looking out to sea towards the east at the canyon, you can see the sunrise😅
