Renting a motorbike is possible in Phnom Penh and
Sihanoukville, but, not in Siem Reap. For security

reasons, we do not recommend it in Phnom Penh to

inexperienced drivers.

COOKING

Cambodian food is closely related to the cuisines of

neighbouring Thailand and Laos, and to a lesser

extent, Vietnam, but there are, however, some distinct

local dishes. The overall consensus is that Khmer

cooking is like Thai without being as spicy. Curries, stir

fried vegetables, rice, noodles and soups are the staple
food of the Khmer people. Sea food and fish are both

abundant and delicious. Cambodia is well known in the

region for its Prahok, a strong, fermented fish paste

used in a variety of traditional dishes.
