From getting to Sihanoukville from the airport or out of town for a weekend break, we’ve got you covered.

While we try and avoid tuk tuks in Sihanoukville, we can recommend this guy…sort of.
Getting around town
The tuk tuks in Sihanoukville have a bit of a price-fixing racket going on. Therefore it’s wise to always negotiate the cost of a tuk tuk before getting in. Costs vary but are generally higher than elsewhere in Cambodia. To get from Serendipity to town will cost $2 to $3, from Serendipity to Victory Hill $4 to $6, and from Serendipity to Otres $4. Sihanoukville is the only town where we find taking moto-taxis preferable to tuk tuks, because that allows us to avoid the tuk tuk mafia. When you’re in town, pick up a free copy of the Sihanoukville Canby guide, they have a several excellent maps that can help you navigate.
We have used Mr. Try, a tuk tuk driver in Sihanoukville before and can offer a lukewarm recommendation. He’s friendly and speaks great English but he tried to raise the price on us after our pre-negotiated trip. He did accept the original price, but with a lot of grumbling. T: 097 666 6051
Moto rentals
There are lots of places that rent motos in Sihanoukville, but be aware that they are known for holding passports ransom when the moto is stolen in the night, often by employees of the rental shop. Moreover, foreigners are targeted by police and you can expect to be stopped several times while cruising around town and shaken down for small bribes. That said, because of the tuk tuk mafia in town, renting a moto is still preferable to other forms of transport.
We’ve got a guide to driving in Sihanoukville which you should be sure to read if you’re planning on renting a moto.
In addition to selling hot and cold drinks, Thida at Thida Coffee rents motos in Sihanoukville. She’s upfront, honest, and goes out of her way for customers. Manual motos cost $5 per day and automatics are slightly more expensive. As usual, you will need to leave your passport as collateral. It’s best to call ahead as she keeps some of the rental motos at her house.
