The characteristic Khmer ox-drawn wooden cart has changed little since the Angkor period, as can be seen on the bas-reliefs of the Bayon. For an interesting description of oxcarts and oxcart construction in the 19th century in Battambang, see Battambang in the Time of the Lord Vassal by Tauch Chhuong.
