There
are many kinds of transport in Cambodia from the taxi,
bus, motorbike and the cyclo. Renting a car or motorbike
is also popular.
You can also travel by train from Phnom Penh Capital to
Battambang Province and Sihanouk Ville.
Water travel is also very popular by boat along Tonle
Sap, Tonle Bassac, and Tonle Mekong. The dramatic
landscape from the river shows Cambodia from a very
differing view.
Domestic flights is another choice and Cambodia has
eleven domestic airports situated at Battambang, Kampong
Chhnang, Koh Kong, Kratie, Mondul Kiri, Phnom Penh,
Preah Vihear, Rattanak Kiri, Siem Reap, Sihanouk Ville,
and Stung Treng.
For further travel information contact your local tour
operator or the Tourism Information Counters in the
