Taxi and Moto ride In Cambodia, people are not quite keen on taxi like other countries. Cambodia mostly spend money on the Moto ride rather than the Taxi. There are many reason for that. Moto ride is much more cheaper. Furthermore, it is faster and you can enjoy the fresh air. There are also disadvantage to this too. Riding a taxi is safer than the Moto rider and also you will get to enjoy the cool air from the car air conditioner. So what to ride will be base on you opinion what do you like better.

The price can also be a deciding factor between these two method too. For Moto ride, the price is really affordable or if not cheap. You can travel 1 to 2 kilometres for the price of 2000 Riel. Whereas, for taxi for the same distance can cost up to 2$.. It will show you the price after you arrive at the destination. Moto ride is somewhat unsafe for tourists who are new to Cambodia. Because some Moto drivers would take more money. If they do you can walk off and find another one. Be careful.

Rickshaw Or Cyclo Cyclo is the development of rickshaw. Before, people used to use rickshaw where the person who is trying to take people to place is using their power to run and also pulling the rickshaw. There is really hard for the person , who is driving. Whereas for the Cyclo, the driver can use less energy to take people to place. This is one of the amazing way to travel in Phnom Penh. It doesn’t cost much and it is a method to take a picture from. The reason for that is that riding Cycle is not fast.

There isn’t a big space on Cyclo. It can only hold one to two person. The is the only con to this method. Still, this doesn’t affect much on what people think, they are still able to enjoy the scenery slowing passing by them and taking picture of the view, it is just amazing. Some people do not like Cyclos that much because they feel unsafe. When riding you are expose and somewhat vulnerable. So a tip for riding Cyclos is keep you valuable stuffs unseen and be careful if you are taking a picture.

Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk is one of the most popular transportation method in Phnom Penh. Most tourists and even the Cambodian themselves really enjoy it. The reason is this method has the right speed, you can enjoy the air from the seats, and also this method can hold many passengers. It can hold up to 6 people, but 4 is the ideal number. Tuk Tuk have different looks. Some have curtain on the side to protect you from the bright sun light. Some doesn’t have, but it doesn’t mean that it is

a bad thing, because you can see everything to your side, which you are traveling can be important. So this will depend on your preference and/or situation. There can be many problems with Tuk Tuk too. Even though it is safer than Cyclo you still have to be careful with you valuable properties. Furthermore, when asking Tuk Tuk for a ride, if you think the price is a bit too much for the distance you are traveling, you can walk off and find another one.

Buses Buses is one of the underrated transportation method in Phnom Penh. The reason for that is most of the roads in Phnom Penh are all cover with motorcycles and cars, so it is hard for the the big massive buses to navigate around the places. Not only that but in the buses, there can so many people in them, it is hard to relax. There aren’t many buses in Cambodia in general. People usually use this transportation to travel to a far place, like going to a different city.

Most tourists don’t use this method because in their own country, they most likely have tried it. Furthermore, when they are here in Phnom Penh they won’t travel that far so using buses would be a waste of money compare to others. Still, it doesn’t mean that this transportation method is bad or people never use it. Some tourists might prefer this riding method to others. The price when compare to others is somewhat expensive because you are riding in an air conditioner and etc.

Boats If you come to visit Phnom Penh, you should try this out. You can ride a boat on the mekong river, which is really massive and beautiful with the light blue colour water. When riding this, you can look at the water and also from the water to the land. You will get to appreciate the stunning view from the boat. Furthermore, if you are riding at night you will be able to see the beautiful stars and the moon clearly when you look up from the boat. Most tourists should come to enjoy this more.
The price of this method is can be pricy considering you are riding on water and they aren’t many ways to do that. I think the price is worth it though, cause you will get to enjoy the beautiful scenery and get a new experience if you never tried it before. It is a good transportation method, but there aren’t many boats in Phnom Penh, still it is fun to try out new things. So don't miss the opportunity. There is even a festival in Cambodia that dedicate to boat too. It’s called “Water festival”.
