On the Road
Using the transportation on the road in Cambodia can be quite an adventure. The road will explore you to the landscape and scenery of the country. You will also encounter the chaos of life, Cambodian style. It's not unusual to be sharing the road with an unpredictable mix of vehicles: motorbikes, tuk tuks, horses or buffaloes, people walking and pushing carts, trucks speeding past at full throttle and school girls on bicycles. All of this makes traveling by road an experience not to be missed.

We recommend you limit your road travel to shorter journeys (no more than four hours). Please also be aware that journeys by road will often take a lot longer than you may estimate by looking at the map. Due to the road quality, the traffic conditions and sometimes the topography of the landscape, a 200-kilometre road trip can actually take up to 4 or 5 hours.

Traveling by Plane
Cambodia is quite advanced in terms of domestic air travel. A domestic company named Siem Reap Airways guaranties two safe and convenient daily flights between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. The other airlines are local and are not reliable for the moment. The only airline used for the leg Phnom Penh to Balung (in the Ratanakiri Province) is PTM. More routes will be available soon.

Speed Boat or Cruise
There is only one speed boat company in Cambodia that transport passengers from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and vice-versa. Traveling by boat can be quite interesting. You will have a great view to the richest species of birds in Tonle sap lake, the world bird sanctuary. On the other hand, the cruise tour will add you more impression and longer trip on the boat.

Travelling by Train
There is no facility to travel by train in Cambodia. There are only two lines and the network is basic and joins Phnom Penh to Kampot and Phnom Penh to Batambang. Transportation by train is mainly for merchandise and is not suitable for travellers.
