Getting around Siem Reap

How to travel around Siem Reap — 5 options, what they cost, and which booking apps fix the fare before you go.

Last updated 2026-08-08

1. Tuk-tuk

The standard way to reach and tour the temples, hired by the half or full day.

Cost: USD 15–25 for a full temple day
Tip: Book through PassApp or your accommodation rather than the street, and agree the temple circuit in advance.

2. PassApp

Local booking app that puts a meter on tuk-tuks and cars.

Watch outRemoves the negotiated foreigner price, which is otherwise several times what a local pays.

3. Bicycle

Flat terrain and short distances make the inner temple circuit genuinely cyclable.

Best time: Early morning; midday heat makes this a bad idea
Cost: USD 2–5 per day

4. Airport transfer

Fixed-rate counters at the airport, roughly 45 minutes from town since the new airport opened.

Cost: USD 18–25 by car

5. Remork and motodop

Motorbike-drawn trailers and pillion motorbike taxis for short in-town hops.

Cost: USD 1–3 locally

Booking apps in Cambodia

Agreeing the fare in an app before you travel removes the argument at the end of the journey, which is where most transport scams happen. Links go to each app's official page — lookalike apps are themselves a scam.

PassApp

The most-used local app for tuk-tuks and cars, with metered in-app pricing.

Coverage: Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Why it helps: Puts a meter on the tuk-tuk ride, which is otherwise negotiated on the street at whatever the driver thinks you will pay.

Grab

Cars and tuk-tuks, with pricing agreed before pickup.

Coverage: Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Why it helps: Fare is agreed in the app before the trip, and the route is recorded — which removes the refused meter, the tampered meter and the fixed 'foreigner price' in one move.
