“Taxi” from Airport, Phnom Penh

Brutally frank:

There is a stand right after you pass through immigration and customs.  The stand advertises “Taxis”.  I went up to it.  The man inside the stand hands me a ticket that says US$7 and another man ushers me from the stand to….. a Tuk Tuk, while a line of real taxis (4-wheeled, air-conditioned) wait right outside arrivals. Ripped off?  I’m not sure.  I didn’t mind too much.  Cars (including taxis) and tuk-tuks use different lanes to get out of the airport.  The car lane had a line but the Tuk-Tuk lane was empty. I breezed right through.  Be prepared for blistering sun and heat though.

 You pay the Tuk-Tuk driver only when you reached your destination.  It helps to have small notes eg US$5, US$1.  They may have difficulty even for change for US$10.

The journey between airport and city centre takes around 45 minutes on Tuk-Tuk. I paid US$6 for my trip from city centre to airport.
