Cyclo Phnom Penh
3 Reviews A cheap and typical way to move around PP is by these bycicles. They cost slightly more than a moto ride, but are far more charming, as you go real slowly among the incredibly thick city traffic. As...

The old road from Koh Kong towards Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh was the only way to travel before 2008. (Today a new road has been build by the Chinese). The old road is without asphalt paving and goes trough dense jungle, crossing three wide rivers with ferries. It took 7 hours to get from Koh Kong to Sihanoukville.
Riverboats are frequently beeing used in the rivers of Cambodia. The riverboat on Tonle Sap River, between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh is a great way to explore the rivers, and also have a pleasant trip. The trip takes 6 hours. It's a lot to see.
Tra Pin, a tuk-tuk driver near the old market (Psar Chaa) in Siem Reap is delightful. He is honest and provides tips (i.e. which locations to hang on to your belongings a little tighter ;) He speaks English quite well and I told him I would send everyone to him because he was so honest and helpful.
Because of the cambodian roads which are often not very good it is still very common to travel the country by boat on the many rivers that criss cross Cambodia.It's a great way to see the country in my opinion and you get close to the locals that way.Just be prepared that the conditions on the boats are often not very luxurious.It's an adventurous way to see the country so hop on your river boat and go and explore Cambodia.
When you've spent it all and woke up at 4 AM to go back to your freezing home country, expect to queue for half an hour for the privilege of contributing to the renovation of the airport through an unwelcome 25$/head departure airport tax...read somewhere it was supposed to be included in the ticket price from september '08 onwards. Maybe it has been, but you still had to pay those 25$ when i went there (december)...
Both Lao Airlines and Vietnam Airlines offer flights between Siem Reap and Vientiane. They code-share the route with Lao Airlines being the less expensive of the two. Sometimes during late spring through the summer and even until October, Lao Airlines offers discount fares.
if you plan to take a shared taxi, think again and consider taking the bus if you're less than 4 or giving the few extra bucks for a private taxi if you're more.when they said we'd be 8 + luggages in that toyota camry (what else...) i thought it was just to raise the price (since we'd tried to book the 2 extra seats and turn the shared taxi into a private one).i should have known better... frankly, driving at 110 km/h on the narrow road from kampot to PP with the driver sitting on the knees of one passenger, no safety belt, no rearview mirror, no way to ask him to slow down because of the other passengers being in a hurry. it's pretty simple: you crash, you die
My wife and I had a great Tuk Tuk driver that I would highly recommend to anyone heading to Siem Reap - great guy, very helpful, flexible and spoke good English. We e-mailed back and forth before the trip to set everything up - he set up very resonable lodging for us - picked us up from the airport - with bottled water waiting for us. Then took us all around the temples and out to Tonle Sap for a day.Johnjohn_angkor@yahoo.com
I flew from HCMC to Siem Reap and then Siem Reap to Luang Prabang on Vietnam Airlines. I booked through Expedia for about $220/each. It's much easier (and cheaper) to book once in SE Asia. If you fly into Hanoi or HCMC just head over to the Vietnam Airlines office and they should be able to help you - we would have saved a couple hundred dollars.If you need a tuk tuk driver in Siem Reap - we had one who I would highly recommend (spoke good English) - very reasonable.

We used Capitol Tour Company for our bus trip from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and they were great. Bus was in great condition with A/C - which was important as it was very wet and humid.The bus stopped for a break at a good cafe with decent toilet facilities.Cheap and fast - couldn't fault them
