You must be joking. I just rented a moto in September, a bit pricey at $10 a day but otherwise fine (no scams, no issues with being a tourist).

The new celebrity tenants who just moved in above me rented a cool

PCX Honda for $70 a month
They said so in their latest you tube travel vlog

Write something positive, that would be a refreshing change.

What did they contribute? Lies and misinformation. How is that positive?

give your money to one of the many NGOs operating in Cambodia.

NGO's are about the only scam left in Siem Reap. Don't contribute and you won't be ripped off.

PassApp and you don't have to haggle over tuk-tuks - tip for good rides. Your safe virtually everywhere at all hours of the day. Legitimate ATM's are everywhere. Tons of half full hotels offering specials. About one of the most scam free places you can visit currently.

Supposedly the girls working there go out onto the road and pull single guys off their motos when they drive by and whisk them away into those bars for beer and a good time.

Be careful!

Def doesn't sound family friendly at all

Hi fellas,
Some friends will be visiting Cambodia (Siem Reap) soon and asked me about scams they should look out for, after they read some gruesome articles online, for example: https://de.hotels.com/go/cambodia/cambodia-common-scams
However, I don't really visit Siem Reap that often.
Thanks for your input! Really appreciate it.

I heard of someone who was sold a sim card by a tuk tuk driver that was bad.

It doesn't cost much to buy a sim card, so why buy on the blackmarket from a tuktuk driver ?
If you want to be incognito, 2500 riel shops are good for that, and are also more dependable than your average tuktuk driver.

Yes its really not too expensive in other countries. I think a real rip is paying $140 a month for Verizon monthly contract. Thats what i had in NYC, although the phone was included in that payment as well as hefty taxes.
