Tous les moyens de transport à Siem Reap : tuk-tuk, voiture, moto, transferts aéroport. Guide mobilité pour touristes et voyageurs au Cambodge.
Getting around Siem Reap is simple, affordable and even enjoyable once you know the codes. The tuk-tuk remains the king of local transport: 1–3 USD for a city ride, 12–18 USD for a full day at the Angkor temples — with the breeze included. The Grab app (Asia's Uber) works well in Siem Reap for tuk-tuk or car rides at a fixed rate displayed upfront, eliminating any negotiation. For independent-minded travellers, a semi-automatic scooter rents for 8–12 USD/day and lets you explore the Angkor area and remote villages freely — provided you ride carefully on roads with their own unwritten rules. The electric bike (15–25 USD/day) is the eco-traveller's favourite for the Grand Circuit of Angkor. For long-distance trips, several comfortable bus companies (Giant Ibis, Mekong Express) connect Siem Reap to Phnom Penh in 5–6 hours for 10–15 USD, with Wi-Fi and USB ports on board. Private chauffeured cars (40–70 USD/day) are available for families or travellers wanting more comfort. Siem Reap International Airport is 7 km from the centre — budget 7–10 USD for a tuk-tuk or 10–15 USD for a taxi. Our directory lists all transport providers with rates, ratings and contact information.
