Cambodia Tour Packages – Know Phnom Penh

Deciding a Cambodia tour packages that its not hard to imagine Phnom Penh in its

heyday, with wide, shady boulevards, beautiful French building and exquisite pagodas.

They are still all here and but are in a derelict, dust-blown, decaying state surrounded

by growing volumes of cars, pickup trucks and motorcyclists. It all leaves you wondering

how a city like this works. But it does, somehow.

Phnom Penh is a city of contrasts: East and West, poor or rich, serenity and chaos.

Although a city has a reputation as a frontier town, due to drugs, gun ownership and all

other things, a more cosmopolitan character is being forged out of the much. Monks

saffron robes are once again lending a splash of color to the capital’s streets, following

the reinstatement of Buddhism as the state religion of the Cambodia since 1989, and

stylish restaurants and bars line the riverside. However, the amputees on street corners

are a constant reminder of Cambodia’s tragic story. Perhaps the one constant in all the

turmoil of the past century has been the monarchy – shifting, whimsical, pliant and,

indeed, temporarily absent as it may have been.

The splendid royal palace, visible to all, was a daily reminder of this ultimate authority

whom even the khmer rouge had to treat with caution. The royal palace area, with its

glittering spires, wats or temples, stupas, national museum and broad green spaces, is

perfectly situated alongside the river and is as pivotal to the city as the city is to the

whole Cambodia.

Getting to Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh international airport lies approximately 10 KM west of the city on the road

No 4. There are flights to Phnom Penh from Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Vientiane and

Siem reap. A taxi from the airport to the city center should not cost more than US$ 7

and a motorbike about US$3 and the whole journey takes between 40 minutes and one

hour, although at peak times the roads are often gridlocked, so be prepared for delays

in the morning and late afternoons.

Boat and bus travel

Most of the Cambodia tour packages are getting into the country via southern Vietnam

and through the Mekong delta with several boats. It is possible to get to the Phnom

Penh by boat and bus from Chau Doc in Vietnam and by road crossing at Moc Bai.

Getting around in Phnom Penh

Lomphatas (motorbikes taxis) provide the nearest things to taxis in Phnom Penh. If you

are traveling alone, then ask your hotel to arrange you car-hire services, but if you travel

with a tour then your package is included all the transfers as well as the transportations

between each destination, however, you may want to get the more of city then most

motorbikes ubiquitous. Most visitors use the local motodops where you ride on the back

as a quick and efficient way of getting around after the tour hours. Be advised that riding

a moto can be risky; wear a helmet. There are cyclos too, which undoubtedly appeal to

many tourists as almost all Cambodia tour packages include a ride through the city on

their itineraries.

At present there is no public transport system in Phnom Penh. A bus network has been

mooted and there’s even talk of a futuristic sky train to link the river with the airport but

without any concerns plans in place at this stage both projects seem years away. When

traveling on any form of public transport in Phnom Penh, be wary of bag snatchers.
