 Tuk tuk ride, it's quite an
experience. by dfactor
Every1 is hungry for your business in Siem Reap and they are open for bargain. Our driver asked for USD 10 per day and USD 15 to Banteay Srei. We said we will think about it and walked to the main street, a couple more Tuk tuk drivers approaced us, one went as low as USD8. So we went back to the 1st driver (he looked honest). He agreed and we took him. Our Tuk tuk driver, Boon Soon, came to pick us up as early as 4:45am for sunrise, and sent us back to the guesthouse as late as 9pm. Not easy money to make for these drivers. We paid him in full on the final day. (Damn I lost his mobile number, if not you guys can use his service). I think he's usually at the Wat Bo area, Happy Guesthouse.
You don't have to find Tuk tuk, they will know where to find you. Walking around Siem Reap, Tuk tuk passing you will slow down and asked you if you need their services.
Best for 2 person, but I'd seen 4 in a tuk tuk. Siem Reap never fails to surprise me all the time. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

 Wanna try this? by o00o
All you need is self-confident, then ready to swim from Phnom Penh towards Seam Reab, it depends how fast the speed you can mantain.
If you ready do what I instructed here, then you will be the first one in this planet to swim to Angkor Wat. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 This Way Please by o00o
But my friend, please look at the fingers pointed at the direction to Angkor Wat. If you turn right instead of left, Sayonara my friend, you will be directed to Angkor Thum not Angkor Wat. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Mr. Tha by richiecdisc
We’re talking once in a lifetime here. Angkor Wat: one of the top sights in all of Asia, if not the world. Add to this allure an element of difficulty with regard to getting there cheaply and you have all the right ingredients for going a bit more overboard than you might normally do.
So, you sign up for the three day pass even if it is a relative king’s ransom of forty bucks. That’s right; all they take are bucks, not the local currency. You could go for one day for twenty but remember, once in a lifetime. Now, you still have to get around. You could go very cheaply and walk but it is some ridiculous amount of square miles you would be navigating and you already shelled out the forty so may as well try and see as much as you can. Some opt for a bike but unless you are there in the cooler season, if you factor in all the bottled water you will need, motorized transport could prove cheaper in the long run.
Let’s disregard a bus tour right now. Once in a lifetime and organized tour, that just does not jive. So, you’ve got a motto or tuk-tuk to choose from. If you are alone, a motto (basically, you sit on the back of the driver’s small motorcycle) is much faster and less expensive to boot so it is a no-brainer. If you are a couple in love, the choice is just as easy to make. The tuk-tuk is a bit slow perhaps but not only do you get to go anywhere you want, when you want. You get to sit next to each other in relative comfort under a nice little awning that sheds some precious shade on your wilting heads. Sun rage on, we have our own…personal…. tuk-tuk. Yeah!
Price is negotiable but figure on about $30 for three days for two passengers if you want to go to remote ruins like Banteay Srei. Just remember to sing Johnny Cash's version of "Your Own Personal Jesus" with tuk-tuk and it will seem like a bargain. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

 My Friends tuk-tuk by Jmill42
Basically for my days at the temples, I rented a tuk-tuk driver for the entire day for $10USD, which I split with a person at my hotel. Basically, $5USD gives you a personal chauffeur, a guide, and translator for the entire day. He will bring you to a temple and wait while you see the site at your own pace, and then you tell him where to go, or to recommend where to go, and he take you there. Amazingly good deal, because it allows you to see many more of the temples, including the out-lying ones, see the surrounding country-side and it supports a local kid’s life.
