MORE FOR YOUR TRIP
Useful travel tools.
Getting there
Most travelers arrive overland from Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. Check the operator’s final stop before choosing your hotel transfer.
Where to stay
Central riverside and market areas are convenient for walking, food and cafés.
Getting around
Tuk-tuks and private drivers are practical for countryside sights and longer local outings.
Before you go
Some attractions are outside the city. Compare the full round-trip transport plan rather than only the distance from your hotel.
