Half Day Angkor Wat by Tuk Tuk

Half Day Angkor Wat by Tuk Tuk

An essential means of local transport in Siem Reap comes in the form of a “Remork”, an old Khmer name for the almost ubiquitously seen Tuk Tuk: three-wheeled motor cycle taxis that navigate with ease and speed through the streets of Cambodia’s most in-demand destinations. The name Tuk Tuk comes from the sound that rhythmically resonates through the streets and alleys as it delivers customers and goods to its final destination. An open-air travel solution with a high dose of adventure can be yours for half a day when Angkor just needs to be ticked off.

Forget air-conditioning, the tinted windows of your vehicle or pedalling on your own power to the centre of the Angkor Archaeological Site universe – Angkor Wat; skilled drivers with a local, incomparable knowledge of Siem Reap deliver a superfluous amount of fun to this Cambodian experience.
