if If you plan to hitchhike in Cambodia then it is expected you will pay if you travel by car or minibus and people will stop for you without asking as payment is expected, this is not always made clear at the start. However, if you do not wish to pay then you must only flag down lorries and trucks. They can be slow and long, but drivers are friendly and if you fall asleep it is not a problem. I feel [[User:Hitchtrotter|Hitchtrotter]] fell asleep to wake up with the lorry pulled off the main road going down to a new port as i he returned from Koh Kong. The driver did not care to wake me him and instead waited for me him to wake-up and as they waited the drivers friend was on the other side of the main road trying to flag a taxi for mehim. The concept of hitchhiking is not fully understood, why would you when as a foreigner you are considered rich and standing at the side of the road is what a very poor person would do.

If you wish to make it clear to the driver that you do not want to pay the easiest thing is to say you have no money "k'nyom ot mean loy" - "i I no have money" is the literal translation. waving Waving your hand works but the most effective way is to stick your arm out, with your palm facing the ground (this is important, palm up is offensive) bend and straighten your fingers in the direction of the driver.
