All the while, the monkeys also had to be mindful of the traffic on the road with mainly motor scooters, bikes and Tuk Tuks passing by.

Sihanoukville Cambodia Beaches and Market

There’s no better way to get around the coastal areas of Cambodia than a ride in a Tuk Tuk. A Tuk Tuk is a motorcycle driven cart and a great way for visitors to explore the area. Just be sure to bargain for your price before getting in to be sure both you and the driver agree on a fare. The ride to the beach from the deep water port is only about 10 minutes.

 

This beach is lined with thatched roof huts, restaurants, bars and shops. Speaking of shopping, we’ll head back to our waiting Tuk Tuk to go to the center of town and visit the main market. Read more..
