Additionally, If I understand correctly the new routes will be from the new tech airport(from next year) which is 20kms outside of pp to the new Siem reap airport which is about the same 20km distance from Sr town.

Re: recommend a mover?

My suggestion would be to use passapp, and use a couple romork, old style tuk tuks . Give the drivers an extra $10 each on top of the pass app fare and they will happily do it, as well as helping you carry the stuff. By using passapp you can set the destination ( save them "getting lost") ...
