Day 1 (Part 2): Lazy Siem Reap Morning...Yawn

We are expecting a van or even a car to turn up for the free airport pickup arranged by Jasmine Lodge. It turns out to be a friendly looking tuk tuk.


Thanks to the tuk tuk, we were able to experience first hand the morning traffic of Siem Reap. No one is in a hurry. Motorcycles with carrying 3 people is a common sight. The biggest crowd I've seen in Siem Reap, on a motorcycle is 3 adults and 1 child.

There are different mode of transport in Siem Reap. For us, a group of 3, tuk tuk is the best value for money. Motorcycle usually carries 1 passenger for US$1 for a short trip. Tuk Tuk is about US$1.50 - US$2 for a short trip for 3 people. If the trip is really short, US$1 will do. Another transport that is commonly used by tourists is the taxi. Too expensive to be our cup of tea...


Can't wait to see what our lodging will be like...
