Getting to Phnom Penh
The majority of visitors to
Cambodia arrive by air at the international airports in Phnom Penh and
Siem Reap. See flight international flight schedule page for detailed
international and domestic flight information and a list of airlines
that service Phnom Penh and Cambodia. For international overland travel
from surrounding countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos) see the
international border crossing/overland travel page. Cambodian visas are
available on arrival at both airports and most international border
checkpoints. The crossings at Bavet/Moc Bai and Chau Doc Vietnam are
the closest to Phnom Penh .
Motorcycle Taxi -Motodup
The
omnipresent ‘moto’ is the most common and fastest form of public
transportation, but not necessarily the safest. They are more prone to
accidents and robberies than cars. Motos can be found virtually
everywhere in town, just step to the curb and they will find you. Motos
cost from 1500R-4000R for a trip in town and $6-$8 per day. Prices go
up at night and for multiple passengers .
Motorcycle trailers -Tuk Tuk
Motorcycle
trailers and cabs have become quite popular. They are more comfortable
than motodups and are covered, offering some protection from the sun
and rain. Unlike the noisy, two-stroke namesakes common to Bangkok, the
Cambodian ‘tuk-tuks’ offer a quieter, more pleasant ride. Moto-romauks
for hire gather in popular tourist areas such as the riverfront and in
front of tourist hotels. $1-$2 for short trips and $10-$15 for the
whole day. Prices vary depending on the number of passengers and where
you pick up the tuk-tuk .
