The Siem Reap Tuktuk

The best mode of transportation in Siem Reap and around the temples are the tuktuks. Tuktuks can be found in almost all Asian countries, but each country has its own version. The Cambodian version are scooter-drawn carriages that comfortably sits two to four passengers.

Finding the right tuktuk driver to take you around is essential to having a great experience in Cambodia. If your hotel or guesthouse can't help you find a driver, you can find a lot of them parked in the Pub Street area. Talk to them and try to ask basic questions about touring the temples, so that you'll have an idea if they can speak English. This will ensure that you will understand each other on the 3 days that you'll be together. A tuktuk driver with some tour-guiding experience is a plus.

Here is a rundown of how much a driver usually charges per trip. We regularly give a $5 tip on top of our agreed rate. Not required, but most appreciated.

Airport pickup or drop-off is $5
Temples - Small Circuit is $10

Temples - Big Circuit is $15

Roluos Group - $15
Half a Day in the Temples is $5-7


Here are the two excellent Tuktuk drivers who were with us, including their contact numbers... Please make a backread on our previous posts to see our experiences with them.

Sophea Son - +85269006
