I was very nervous in the Phnom Penh traffic and he went out of his way to drive slowly and not cut in front of people. He also minded my shopping and found toilets and places that had moved from their map location. Tuk tuk is not glamourous but service was great.

If you're staying for a couple of days, it's worth cultivating a regular moto driver (many guesthouses have a bunch of reputable guys).

Saves hassle, and can be great if you strike up a rapport, even better if they speak a bit of English.

Pay 2000 riel per journey (maybe 3000 at 3am), or negotiate a day rate.

Plus if you're planning on being out late, having a moto driver you trust who you can ring up on a mobile is worth the extra peace of mind.

The standard cost for a moto journey was 1500 riel in 2005.

Try not to pay more than 2000 riel for any single journey in the capital.

You can actually be quite hard nosed about it and say that you will not accept anything higher - as you know the going rate!

These are free publications with detailed listings of bars, restaurants, guesthouses, shops etc plus useful articles, maps and so forth. They are very handy for tourists and other newcomers to this rapidly changing city, where annually published guidebooks can be out of date almost as soon as they are published.

The guides are available at guesthouses, bars, restaurants and shops.
