Getting around Siem Reap

by Cathy&Gary

These tuk-tuks are a lot smaller than the Phnom Penh ones.They are good for 2 people and are covered which offers some protection from the sun and rain.Tuk-Tuks are great for getting around Siem Reap and most trips around town only cost $1. We booked Marom Hem for our 3 days there at a cost of $10 per day. More info on Marom in my travelogues.Some would prefer air conditioned cars which are approximately $20 - $30 per day to hire. We prefered the tuk-tuk, it was not hot in them at all, (and we are no spring chickens and like our comfort) as soon as they start moving the breeze is wonderful, instant cooling effect and also much easier for taking photos!(Tuk-Tuks are different in Siem Reap to the ones in Phnom Penh. They only seat 2 people comfortably).Marom's current rates are:Current rates as of December 2008:Day Rates for Marom's tuk-tuk which seats 2 comfortably are:Angkor...

Taxi From the Airport

by tigerjapan

The Tourist Transport Association runs a taxi service at the airport. To ride in a taxi from the airport to your hotel will cost you $7 US dollars. It's more than you'll pay if you haggle or get some other form of transport, but it is easy and reliable.I don't recommend signing up with your taxi driver for a trip to the temples though. You can always get a much better price if you ask around a little.

To Angkor Wat and around Siem Reap

by muratkorman

The most comfortable way to go around Siem Reap is to arrange a guide/driver to take you around. An aircon car in this hot country is like a blessing. When you have your guide with you, you can get all the information about temples in Angkor Wat as well as other interesting places around Siem Reap. You avoid a lot of hassle entering Angkor Wat and you don't lose time searching for the right way to reach your destination. The guide/driver will cost you around 25 USD per day including meals and fuel.

Tuk Tuks

by Eggboy

Tuk Tuk is a grat way to get around Siem Reap town and beyond. Its basically and motorbike with a covered trailer with seats. Around town you should only pay a dollar. The drivers are very respectful and polite and genrally do not hassle you if you choose to walk. I was fortunate to get a free short trip from one of the drivers on my last day there. Unexpected but left me with a warm feeling towards this form of transport.

Hire a bike in Siem Reap

by chizz

For a few dollars a day you can hire a bicycle in Siem Reap and explore the countryside, temples and markets! You can even do the Angkor temples if you have lots of energy!!! There are several bike shops around Siem Reap.

Great bus ride from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap!

by chizz

Why not take the bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap for great photo opportunities. We had a private bus with our tour group and the journey took around 6 hours. We visited a market selling tarantulas to eat and saw many houses on stilts in the countryside. We also stopped at a lovely restaurant with thatched huts over the water! I believe the regular bus costs around $12 one way and takes between 6-7 hours.

How to get to the temples

by magor65

The temples of Angkor are located in such a distance from one another that it is impossible to reach them on foot. Cycling could be a good idea but hot weather makes it an effort that only a few decide on. Definitely, the best way to move around, especially if you travel in a party consisting of two - four people, is tuk-tuk. To find one is no problem - despite the increasing number of visitors, there still seems to be more tuk-tuk drivers offering their services. It is a good idea, though, to decide on one tuk-tuk driver for the whole of your stay.We met ours on the very first day of our visit to Siem Reap. When we got off the bus he offered to help us find a hotel which would suit our needs (it was to be something decent, but inexpensive). Because it was late in the evening it didn't turn out to be easy. After almost two hours we finally found the accomodation and the driver didn't...

Just grab a Tuk Tuk and hold your breath

by lalikes

I loved the easy-ness of the Tuk Tuk. You do have to be a bit loyal to your driver. Once you have eye contact initially and 48 other drivers are trying to snag your business, stay strong and stick to the person you flagged first... even if you have to walk across the street. It's only fair.

VERY NICE AND HONEST TUKTUK DRIVER

by mavl

due to the favorable responses to my beijing taxi driver tip, i'm posting the contact details of my very helpful, friendly, and english-speaking tuktuk driver. his name is SOVANNE and he was very accommodating, making sure i got to see everything i needed to see no matter how much time it took (i've been known to sit in total awe of an architectural landmark for hours).just email him if you want him to drive you around all the temples, you guys can discuss an itinerary and negotiate costs. say miko, his friend from the philippines, referred you. great guy!

Guides

by Flipboy

At every temple there are guides that are more then willing to give a depth of history about the area. They work for tips, so tip them well cause their information is very good. You can even just employ one guide for the full day if you like.*image: impromptu mapping of our location within the temple ruins, as per how it would have looked before Khmer Rouge raiding and bombing
