Get around Cambodia

Air
Cambodia has only two internationa airport, one in Phnom Penh and the other one is in Siem Reap (Angkor). Traveling by plane is very limited in Cambodia. Not many flight are establised everyday. Usually they fly from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. The flight usually subjected to change so there is no clear schedule yet. Just in 2007, there some flight circling around Cambodia.

Bus
This is the most practical way to get in and out of everywhere in Cambodia. There are many bus stations in Cambodia providing the service with reasonable price. This is the most convinience way to travel around Cambodi. Along the way they can enjoy the view of the countryside with ice fields, mountains and others. The bus has air-con, comfortable and cheap price.

Taxi
Taking taxi, you can go anywhere across Cambodia at anytime possible without waiting for schedule like bus. From Phnom Penh you can catch a taxi at Dankor market or Psar Thmei (Central Market). There is no ticket so you can get there to bargain the price usually the price is somehow higher than the bus. Most taxi drivers prefer speed-up, just go as fast as they can to take another ride. You may feel like a race day. This is the most dangerous transportation.
Today Khmer traditional music is also performed in concert but there are many changes with the new instruments.

Motocycle
Some tourists prefer adventuring so they are more likely to rent moto to travel everywhere as they want. If you have a vehicle passport, you can get your own motocycle in Cambodia. Anyway there are many stores provide moto for rent. Get a good map to enjoy a big adventure but usually the roads are narrow and the cars are moving so fast, so this is really a high risk.

Train
Train in Cambodia is out of date. It is very slow. Train are usually use for shipping for long distance. Facility is very poor and the price is very low but you need to spend days just to travel in a long distance!!!!
