Taxi to Angkor Wat

We were thinking of staying in Siem Reap and commuting to Angkor Wat. Is it very far or would it be better to stay closer to eliminate taxi charges?

Is there is much to do near Angkor Wat after a day of touring or would it be better to stay in Siem Reap. Please advise. thanks

Taxi to Angkor Wat

SR is the town nearest to Angkor, and is where all the accomodation is based, although, obviously, some are closer to angkor than others. that in itself isnt a big deal as you pay your driver for the day, - they%26#39;ll wait for you and take you on to the next place, or anywhere else you want to go

Taxi to Angkor Wat

SR is where everything is, markets, hotels, cafe%26#39;s etc.

Booking a taxi, or better still a tuk tuk for the day trips out to the temples is easy. Our daily routine was, tuk tuk to the temples in the morning, back to the hotel (in SR) for a swim and lunch, and then back out in the afternoons for another session at the temples.

Happy %26amp; safe travels

Hi and thanks.

It looks walkable from Siam Reap to Angkor Wat from your map. Is it? Thank you, your site was helpful.

No not walkable but only about 10-15 minutes puttering along in a tuk tuk.

Enjoy your trip.

Stay within walking distance of the markets / Pub Street. Nothing to do at the temples at night - tuk tuk for the day is about US$15 and as Bob said they will take you wherever you want to go then home to your hotel at the end of the day.

At night you can wander around town, you can get a tuk tuk from your hotel into town (but lots of places in easy walking distance) %26amp; visit the night markets, pubs, restaurants etc - so many places to eat it would take weeks to eat your way round Siem Reap.

my trip report %26#39;Cambodia just wonderful%26#39; may give you some additional ideas.

have a fantastic time
