Getting Around Phnom Penh
|
|
|
Tuk-tuks
Tuk-tuks are similar to the ones in Thailand, with a trailer carriage at the back. There are plenty everywhere, outside hotels, restaurants and tourists spots. For tourists, it can be between US$2 - US$3 for short rides (locals will just pay US$1) and between US$10 - US$15 for a whole day. Of course you have to bargain hard and the price usually varies depending on the number of passengers and the place where you flagged the tuk-tuk. There have been cases of snatch thefts from tuk-tuk so make sure your bags are not exposed and never leave your bags inside the tuk-tuk unattended.

No. +855 16-647 864 ; +855 12-828 945
(If you are using a local telephone SIM card, replace the country code '855' with '0'.
Motodup (Motorcycle taxi) and Cyclos
They are everywhere and for just US$6 - US$8 a day, they can get you anywhere within the city. This makes Phnom Penh quite accessible. if the vehicle looks old or not so road-worthy, don't take the risk as there have been accidents before. Again, be very careful with your bags!
