Back to Top Getting from A to B Water Festival at Angkor Getting around Siem Reap and out to the temples is simple, but as with the rest of the country, there is no state infrastructure. The vacuum has been filled by local operators who can arrange any transportation you might need. Roads rapidly degenerate a few km outside the town and there are no trains or buses . However for those flying in and out, and not plunging headfirst into the jungle, seeing Angkor s main attractions is easy and safe. There are no taxis to flag down.
Motorcyclists offering nippy transport around town, motos , are everywhere and cheap if haggled.
Some have trailers for 2 people. Moto drivers are delighted to offer trips to the temples and many can double as guides. For the more remote temples the awful roads make motos a bad idea - expect gruesome saddle sore. Hotel cars or the unmetered taxis available at the airport provide more comfortable travel. They are quite expensive compared to motos and steep by local standards but in many cases the best option.
