Transportation to / from and Around Koh Kong, Cambodia

You want to go where?

and you want to pay how much?

Transport

Transport can be divided up between transport around Koh Kong, and into and out of Koh Kong.

Inside the city
Easiest and cheapest way around the city…… walk
Second quickest and second cheapest, rent a bicycle, about $1.5 per day. 

Quickest and third cheapest, take a motorcycle taxi.
They go slow, (if you ask), and charge about 5 Baht to 15 Baht (Thai money, about 15 to 45 cents U.S.), or 2,000 to 3,000 Cambodian Riel, or as much as they can get from you, for a ride inside of town. Charges are higher for more than one person on a motorcycle, and for night time travel. 

Tuk Tuks, a cart pulled by a motorcycle are now available, and for one person, cost about triple the price of a motorcycle taxi.

Next, rent a 100 cc motorcycle for $5 a day plus gas.  Very easy to drive, most are automatic (no gears).  A dollar of gas gets you about an hour’s driving time. 
($15 for a 450cc dirt bike for the day) 

Another option, rent a car with a driver at the market.  About $50 per day, plus gas.
