8 Tips for Exploring Angkor Wat
Rent a driver for the whole day
For budget travelers, walking or biking from temple to temple is an option, but they are quite far from each other, and in the Cambodian heat sometimes it seems like a better idea than it actually is.
I would recommend spending about $15 to rent a whole tuktuk for the entire day, or 8 hours. Your driver will pick you up in the morning, drive you to each temple and wait for you to come out. This is the best option for someone with limited time as well.
Your guesthouse or hotel can help you organize this, or ask any tuktuk driver that you use and enjoy. Choosing a driver who speaks a bit of English is extra helpful, as he can share advice, experiences, and knowledge about the temples as he’s likely been there hundreds of times before with other tourists.
