Local Transport |

To the main sights in town, you can walk but if you want to visit
waterfalls or caves, you have to hire tuk-tuk. |

Tuk-tuk: It is tough to negotiate. From the center to the
airport/the bus stations/the ferry pier, you can go with 10,000kip
at least. Tuk-tuk waiting in front of GH's are very tough to
get right fare. Go out to the street and find one which has already
some people on. |

rental bicycle: There are a few shops on the Main Rd.They all charging
10,000kip. And some GH have some. |
