2. WHAT TO PREPARE WHEN TRAVELING TO SIEM REAP?
Before heading off to the enchanting city of Siem Reap, make sure you’re well-prepared for a smooth journey. In addition to essential travel documents like your passport and plane tickets, it’s wise to exchange some USD in advance, as U.S. dollars are widely accepted across Cambodia and often preferred over local currency for larger purchases.
Other useful preparations include:
🏦 Small denominations of USD for tips, tuk-tuk rides, and street snacks.
📲 SIM card or roaming plan to stay connected, especially for navigating and translation apps.
🧴 Sunscreen and insect repellent, especially if you plan to explore temples or countryside areas.
👟 Comfortable walking shoes for wandering through Angkor Wat and bustling night markets.
💧 Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the tropical heat.
📷 Camera or phone with extra memory/storage, because photo ops are everywhere!

Siem Reap’s mix of ancient wonder and modern charm can sweep you off your feet—so prepping smart means more time to soak it all in.
3. TRANSPORTATION
Transportation in Siem Reap is both convenient and affordable, offering plenty of local charm. The most popular way to get around is by tuk-tuk, a motorized rickshaw that’s perfect for short trips and sightseeing. They’re easy to find and often waiting outside hotels, markets, and temples—just be sure to agree on a price before hopping in.
Tuk Tuk
For longer journeys or a more comfortable ride, you can book a private car or taxi through hotel services or ride-hailing apps like Grab, which is widely used in Cambodia.
If you’re feeling adventurous, renting a bicycle or motorbike gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, especially around Angkor’s scenic temple trails.
Walking is also a pleasant way to soak in the city’s laid-back vibe, especially around the Old Market and Pub Street areas.
