GETTING THERE AND AROUND
Siem Reap is almost small enough to get around on foot, but the nearest temples are several kilometers from town. Motorcycle taxis are the most common form of transport for short trips around town. Transportation to the temples is usually hired by the day and arranged through your hotel or travel agent. Motorcycle, Trailers Taxi and bicycle Two-person motorcycle trailers (Tuk Tuk or ro mauks) and one-person for bicycle have surpassed motorcycle taxis (motodups) as the most popular form of transport to the temples, though motodups are still omnipresent in town. In Siem Reap most motorcycle drivers speak some English. For short trips around the town, foreigners are expected to pay 2000-4000R for motodups and about twice that for a motorcycle trailer. To the temples, transportation is usually rented by the day. Rates run $5-$8/day for a motodup, and $10-$12/day for motorcycle trailers and $2-$3/day for bicycle, some guesthouses have free bicycle.
