The Cambodian city of Siem Reap, which is a gateway to the famed Angkor Wat, is an easy destination to get around and here are some of the transport options on offer.
Bicycle
A budget-friendly not to mention an eco-friendly way of travelling here is by bicycle which not only includes the city but the Angkor Archaeological Park, just five minutes from Anantara Angkor Resort. Such accommodation providers will help organise bicycle transport which adds to the convenience, while you can look to enjoy pedal-powered adventures amidst the scenic countryside too.
Motorbike Hire
Another way to get about the city would be to hire a motorbike or scooter though you will need an international license; additionally, ensure the motorbike is in good condition and that you get a helmet too. When staying at a luxury hotel in Siem Reap, see if it organises tours on motorbikes which will make your life easier. Also, keep in mind that you can hire E-bikes that run on electricity which can be used even at the Angkor Archaeological Park.
Remork
Known as the Cambodian tuk-tuk, the remork features a small trailer that’s attached to a motorbike. Generally, it can accommodate up to four people and offers a relatively cost-effective way to travel around the city though remember to negotiate a price before you begin your journey. You can also use them from the airport though it will take longer to get to your destination.
Taxis
Taxis are easy to get in Siem Reap though they are not part of any formal organisation and neither do they have meters; thus, negotiate a price before you get in and keep in mind the quoted costs can vary. An alternative to this would be motorcycle taxis known as motos, though with this option too, agree on a price before you get on; additionally, ensure you get a helmet, and it helps to have the address of where you want to go written down since some may not be fluent in English.
