Transportation in Siem Reap

Tuk-tuks are Siem Reap's default circulation system: cheap, everywhere, and well suited to temple-hopping distances. Grab and PassApp let you lock in a fare before you climb in, sparing the roadside haggle. For the Angkor Archaeological Park, most drivers offer a flat day-rate, agree on the circuit (Small or Grand Loop) and whether sunrise is included. Otherwise you'll be negotiating in the dark at 4:30 a.m. Motorbike taxis are a faster solo option. But less comfortable once the midday heat kicks in. From the airport, the official booth just outside arrivals sells fixed-price rides, moderate, not a splurge, and is safer than the freelance drivers who swarm the curb. If you're traveling light and it's daylight, a pre-booked tuk-tuk via Grab costs a fraction of a taxi and drops you door-to-door in about 20 minutes. Ignore the "helpful" luggage porters inside the terminal; they'll steer you to the highest bidder.
