The best way to travel around town in Cambodia is by tuk tuk. These tips will help you  negotiate the price, stay safe, and get to your destination.
 
The tuk tuk has got to be one of the most pleasant forms of intraurban transit in Cambodia. The official name for them is the French word remorque, but everyone still calls them tuk tuks. These two-wheeled carriages pulled behind a moto are a breezy way to travel and are marginally safer than going by moto–mostly because they go at about half the speed.

Tuk tuks are also more expensive than motos, but worth the expense. Here are a few tips for taking tuk tuks:

Learn the pagodas and markets. Most tuk tuk drivers seem to have only a loose grasp of the geography of the area they work in and are not familiar with the sort of landmarks that Westerners generally use. For example, telling a tuk tuk driver a street name and cross street will often result in a blank stare. But tuk tuk drivers will almost always know the names of the local markets and pagodas (wats), so it’s good to know which one you live closest to and give directions from there.
Negotiate the price in advance. When tuk tuk drivers see foreigners, they often see dollar signs floating over our heads. Therefore, it’s better to negotiate a price in advance rather than risk having an argument about $2 in front of your house or the restaurant where you’re having a business dinner. Negotiating a price in advance gives you the leverage to walk away if you don’t think you’re being offered a fair deal (and walking away usually drops the price substantially). Once you have a relationship with a regular driver, you can do as the locals do, and just pay what you think is fair at the end of the trip.
Prices (for Phnom Penh): Everyone pays different rates (some people seem to be able to negotiate lower rates and others seem to always pay more) but here are some tips to get you started. Prices never go below $1. A trip that’s up to 5 minutes is usually about 4,000-6,000 riel ($1 – $1.50). Across town is usually $3 and anything in between a short trip and an across town trip is $1.50 to $2. From almost anywhere in Phnom Penh to the airport should be $6, but it can be gotten for $5 if there’s not a lot of traffic. If you make your driver wait for you or he helps you carry your groceries upstairs, pay a bit extra (depending on how high up you live!) Also expect to pay slightly more at night and you will always pay more the more people you have. A trip that will cost $1.50 for 1 person will be $2 for 2-3 people and even more if you have 4. It’s important to remember that prices have gone up recently (as of 2014) because Cambodia has experienced inflation and rising gas prices. Do not expect to pay the same rates you paid five years ago.
Here are some example rates for one passenger during the day based on negotiating in advance (move upwards for multiple passengers, after dark, etc):
Riverside to Independence Monument/Street 51: $1.50 to $2
Independence Monument to Russian Market: $2
Mid-Riverside to Russian Market: $2.50
Wat Phnom to Riverside: $1 – $1.50 (although Wat Phnom is very close to the Riverside, trips involving Wat Phnom seem to cost more)
Street 240 to Central BKK1: $1.50
Street 240 to BKK Market: $2
Prices outside of the capital are similar, although sometimes a bit higher due to limited supply.
Negotiate in Khmer. This will almost always get you a better price. Remember, there are three levels of pricing in Cambodia: tourist, expat, and local. Knowing some basic Khmer will move you into the second category, at least. When you’re new in town you’ll almost always get the tourist price until you learn what a fair price is and how to bargain in Khmer. If you’re offered a price that’s too high, whine and say “T’lai na!” (“So expensive!”). Usually you’ll be offered a better deal.
Don’t go too low. If you’ve offered a price a few times and started to walk away and the tuk tuk driver doesn’t bite, you’re probably not offering enough. Tourists and new expats often start out by paying too much, and then overreact by trying to bargain down to a price that’s much lower than what’s really fair. Remember, the price of gasoline is almost certainly higher here than it is where you’re from, so offering $1 for a ride all the way across town isn’t realistic.
Scope out the drivers. Tuk tuk drivers who hang outside of hotels, bars, and clubs or speak English usually charge more than those who don’t. Tuk tuk drivers who are on the move usually charge less than those who are sitting around waiting for a fare.
Get a map and learn to give directions in Khmer. This is perhaps the most crucial tip of all. Despite being transportation professionals, most tuk tuk drivers have no idea where your destination is, even if they tell you that they know. Expecting them to find it is usually an exercise in futility that will result in higher fares; after they get lost for 30 minutes they’ll expect you to pay for the gas they expended driving in circles. You can find free Canby guides and maps in most of the tourist hotels and hot spots. Carry one with you when you travel, but don’t expect drivers to be able to read it, since many are map-illiterate. Instead, learn the Khmer words for simple directions, which will help make your trip go more smoothly.

Here are some basic directions in Khmer to help you get from here to there:
Turn right – bot s’dam
Turn left – bot ch’wayng
Go straight – dtou dtrong
Turn back – dtou grao-ee
Stop – chop
Stay safe. If you are in the back of a tuk tuk, you are at increased risk of having your bag snatched by young men on motos who make a sport of it. Make sure to hold your bag close to you, or keep it under your feet. Be alert when riding in tuk tuks. Those who who idly play with their expensive smartphones often find their expensive smartphones snatched out of their hands. Then they will probably wish they had signed up for travel insurance before coming to Cambodia.

After a wait of 14 years, passenger trains are once again running in Cambodia. Train buffs will need no other excuse to get on board, but there are good reasons why any traveler might like to let the train take the strain.

Although plans are in the works for a country-wide network, the train service is currently limited to four destinations, running from Phnom Penh via Takeo and Kampot, terminating in Sihanoukville. This first foray into passenger trains runs only on weekends and public holidays, matching domestic demand for the two popular Khmer holiday destinations.

Taking the train in Cambodia

Two trains alternate on the tracks — the Yellow Train and the Blue Train. The seating set-up is slightly different (sideways or front-facing), but both trains are air-conditioned and tickets are the same price. Given that the rolling stock is refurbished from the 1960s, the experience is more modern than you might expect. Carriages are air-conditioned, the padded vinyl seats are newly upholstered and the ride is surprisingly smooth. The toilet is clean and well provisioned — a bum gun, paper towels and the ubiquitous Glade air freshener.
Announcements are made in Khmer and English by a man in a high-vis jacket with a portable karaoke machine, bringing a personal touch to customer information. Lingering suggestions of the original train — pull-down windows, French language plaques, oscillating ceiling fans and stencil-punched seat numbers — will please lovers of retro train chic. The train stations, shabbily delightful hangovers from Cambodian history, are also worth a second look.
Any journey in Cambodia seems to be an excuse to eat. On board the train, the ever-smiling assistant in her Royal Railways baseball cap serves up instant Mama noodles and bottles of water to your seat on request. Passengers can stock up on boiled eggs, cut pineapple and mango, dried fish, and iced coffee at the station stops, which are usually about 10 minutes each.
Apart from the novelty value, the biggest attraction to riding the train in Cambodia is what you see out of the window. From Phnom Penh, the train slowly chugs through communities which set up around the tracks when the idea of a reestablished train service was only a daydream. Reach out a hand and you could grab the laundry off the balconies. Vendors wait for the train to pass so they can set up their stalls again, kids on doorsteps wave or put their fingers in their ears, grandmas perched at a noodle stall watch the passing carriages.
Within half an hour, the train is tooting through semi-countryside, startling ducks into making a waddle for it to their lotus pond. Arriving in the countryside proper, there’s a picture postcard view of Cambodia — wooden stilt houses sheltering under palms, surrounded by paddy fields stretching back to crenelated hills. At small dusty crossings, motorbikes and oxcarts wait at the nominal red and white striped barriers. Closer to Kampot, limestone karsts shoot up from the flat landscape while white Brahman cows and water buffalo stare transfixed at the train. This is a perspective you don’t quite get traveling by road, either because you’re going too fast or you have your eyes screwed tightly shut!

Why choose the train?

Getting out of Phnom Penh by road at any time of day except very early morning is generally a hassle, due to the volume of traffic. Phnom Penh train station is centrally located, easy to get to, and the train cuts through the suburbs more quickly than buses or taxis.
A Royal Railways sign at the station informs passengers “Never boarding late as the train never waits anyone.” So far, the service has proved to be pretty reliable, more often arriving early than late. Unlike buses, which often make a frustrating number of stops to pick up passengers or drop off bags of mangoes, the train is direct.
Whilst the average speed is somewhat slower than road vehicles, the train travel time compares favorably with similarly priced buses (4.5 hours to Kampot, another two hours to Sihanoukville). If speed is of the essence, the more expensive Giant Ibis buses or a private taxi will likely get you from Phnom Penh to Kampot more quickly, if more queasily.
The road to Sihanoukville does not have the best record for traffic safety — frequent travelers expect to see an accident on almost every journey between the capital and the beach. By traveling on the biggest vehicle around, one that doesn’t engage in impossible overtaking maneuvers on blind corners, you’ll probably feel a bit safer. And you can avoid the traffic; some journeys from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville can be as much as seven hours by bus depending on what time of day you leave.
If you fancy taking your own transport with you, motorbikes and bicycles can be transported on all trains for a $5 fee, and cars can catch the Blue Train for $14.

Tickets and Timetable

The ticket office at Phnom Penh station is open 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. You can also call 078 888 583 during the same hours, but the easiest way to buy a ticket is in person. From Sihanoukville, Kampot or Takeo, enquire at the station.
The Friday train is generally less busy than the Saturday and Sunday journeys, but it’s best to buy your ticket a couple of days in advance to be sure of being able to travel. For public holidays, the earlier the better, as trains only carry around 100 passengers each.
Scheduled train times are as follows, but do check at the station — timetable alterations may be made as this new service develops.
