Great driver/tour guide. Charlie knew perfect english, had vast knowledge about the history and background of all the temples.
Beautiful new car with wonderful AC! Very important after a day of touring the temples.
Charlie was always on time (in fact, always waiting on US!).
Was willing to drop us off and pick us back up again at a later time for additional touring.
Best of all, by using his services, we were unable to cut back on the cost of an additional guide fee as he was knowlegeable enough to answer all our questions.

 A bus in Siem Reap by SirRichard
- From the border to Siem Reap I used shared taxis (pick ups).
- From Siem Reap to Phnom Penh I used a speed boat.
- From Phnom Penh to Vietnam I used a private minibus that my guesthouse offered me. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Faces of Angkor by Homanded
First off: US DOLLARS is the prefered form of currency in Cambodia.
As SOON as you arrive into the airport and exit the doors, you will be bombarded by people vying for your attention and wanting you to go on their tuk tuk, car, taxi or even bike.
You should go directly to the Taxi queu and await your turn.
Once inside the taxi, (*Your driver will speak english-almost guaranteed), he will turn to you and ask which hotel or have you booked a place yet. (Hopefully you have) otherwise, he will be able to conviniently recomend a place for which he will be payed a commission. You will get better prices if you shop around through websites ahead of time. Do your research and book early.
Next thing your driver will ask is if you are going to be needing a driver/guide for your trip and, how long you will be staying in Cambodia. We were offered the additional guide service by someone he knew and could recommend for an additional $25.00/day which we declined. We had read up on Cambodia and it's temples before hand, had purchased a good book "en-route" and one of us being a teacher, figured it couldn't be too hard. Besides, we further figured that, if by say, day 2, we thought we needed a guide, we could always ask for his friend's services. As it ended up, temples were quite "self explanatory", easy to see, and we saved $75.00! This should buy you at least one nights accomodation PLUS dinner for 2-3 people in Cambodia!

 Moto to the border by SirRichard
There you must take a moto or tuktuk to the Cambodian border (6 kms, 50 Baths).
Then you pass the customs and enter Cambodia, get the Visa there (20 USD) and...

 On the roof by SirRichard
It takes 5 hours and costs 22 USD. There is one daily in both directions. Ask for tickets at any guesthouse or travel agency. Ask them to include the transport to the boat in the price, as there is a 30 minutes drive to the pier.
You can travel inside the long boat or on the roof (as I did). On the roof is nicer, but don't forget to bring your sun lotion!!!! I did, and I peeled off completely the following week :-((
When arriving in Phnom Penh you will be "welcomed" by many Ghesthouses' guys, asking you to go to theirs. They will take you to the guesthouse by car. A good choice is to look at your guidebook in advance, find the one of the guesthouse you have choosen and go directly for him... or just take the chance and go with the first one. Narim and Continental are good options... Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat
