Phnom Penh Transportation Tips by SirRichard

Boat from/to Siem Reap Getting there and away Review

There is a daily boat from Siem Reap (Angkor Temples) through the Tonle Sap lake. It takes 5 hours and costs 22 USD. It is a small boat, so if you don't arrive on time, you will do the trip on the roof (which is very pleasant BTW). If U do so, be careful with the sun, is really really very strong here...
You are supposed to put your luggage at the rear part, but as I arrived late, I put it on front, and it was much more convenient when leaving the boat, as I didn't have to wait the long queue (see pic) to pick up my rucksack.

Tickets at any guesthouse or travel agency.

Cyclos Cyclo Review

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 you go in front, you can feel a little "vertigo" when motos and cars cross in front of you, but don't worry, I didn't see any crash (that doesn't mean there aren't though...).

And if you are worried about "the poor old man cycling for you", think that he would have to work much harder to earn the same in other job here...

It's amazing how hard they can cycle, sometimes carrying 2 or 3 persons in the same cyclo.
