'''Cambodia''' is a country in South East [[Asia]]. On on the main highway from [[Pnom Phen]] to [[Siem Reap]] and [[Thailand]]highways, it is pretty easy to hitch. Pnom Phento – Siem Reap took me not even a day. On some remote roads things may be harder though. Cambodians are very friendly too.
'''if you put your thoumb up, the cambodian will think you looking for taxi. you should hit the air with your hand and than they will understand you hitch hike'''You can hitch on every single road in Cambodia, there are just more and less busy roads. People are very friendly, but most don't really know what hitchhiking is. Many will assume youare trying to flag down a taxi - so they won'll hardly ever been not asked t stop. Taxis will stop of course, that's why it's important to pay make it very clear that you have no money. some cars will stop for your rideyou and will think you can be a great side money so make it clear you have no money. ThatActually, it's why you need even possible to carry only few dollars in your pockethitch a ride with a taxi, when they already have a passenger who paid for the trip.
Thumb here has no meaning, so waving Trucks and lorries are most likely to give you a free lift. You will probably spend more time on the drivers would back of vehicles then inside. This can be the only a pleasant way to hitch a rideenjoy sun, otherwise they will not stop for wind and the beautiful landscape. Make sure youbring water, but taxi will always be your friend. Actuallysunscreen and a hat though, it's even possible to hitch a ride with as you might get a taxi, when they already have 4-hour-lift without a passenger who paid for the trip. Just don't forget that you "don't have money" (Khmer pronunciation would be "loy atmeean")single minute of shade.
Roads PP - Siem Reap, PP - Sihanoukville, Most people speak basic English and PP will understand at least something like "no money". In Khmer you can say ''k'nyom ot mean loy'' - Battambang are always good to hitch, takes less than a day. Just take a moto taxi and get out of "I no have money" is the city for $2literal translation.
Thumb here has no meaning, so waving to the drivers would be the only way to hitch a ride. again- hit the air- they understand that. Almost all main roads lead to [[Phnom Penh]]. From there it's easy to make it on less that a day to [[Siem Reap]], [[Sihanoukville]], [[Battambang]] or the Vietnamese border. == Public transport ==Intercity buses are cheap, but inside the cities, there is no public transport at all. Even Phnom Penh with its population of 2 million does not have a local bus network.To get out of the city, you will have to use motorbikes or tuktuk. Haggle hard, as they will easily ask 3-4 times of the regular price for foreigners.Don't be shy and always deal with the price. if it's too much just start to walk, the will follow you and reduce the price. == More info Cities ==* [[Phnom Penh]]* [[Sihanoukville]]* [[Battambang]]* [[Siem Reap]] == External links ==* [http://www.digihitchmarcandoelpolo.com/article618viajar-dedo-autostop-camboya/ Information, tips and personal experiences of hitch-hiking in Cambodia.html Hitchhiking Cambodia – On the Beat with BassdrumbenA 2103 km journey on 40 vehicles and 1 boat!
