Does anyone know the price,or have any tales, about getting a tuk tuk from Snooky train station down to the golden lions area

Tuk tuk, I would expect to pay no more than $5. on moto $3.
BUT, I would expect to be asked for anything up to $20 especially if you have luggage.
$5 in your hand ready should do it!

Thanks for that.

mate the tuk tuks are demanding $6 from the Downtown bus station to the golden lions, piss taking cunts, told em to fuck off lol

OP id expect them to demand $10 if youve got luggage, if you got no luggage jump on the back of a motodop, $2-3

Yeah, Jamie, I've been hearing the tuk tuk drivers are getting more cuntish. I'm moving to Cambodia in September after 20 years in Jakarta. Cunts in tuk tuks aside, it still seems a much better country to be in. Cheers, mate.

no worries, ill let you know when im back in SHV later this year and will try cross paths for a beer

For sure.

Avoid the tuk tuks in the tourist areas and find people who have reasonable prices.
Most of the tuk tuks in tourist areas (Serendipity, Occheuteal) are spoiled to make fast cash on tourists and will not waste their time carting you around for reasonable prices.
It's not worth arguing for a price that you want, just walk away.
Most respectable business can coordinate a reasonable price with someone they know.
Otherwise take a motodup downtown and negotiate a fair price on where you want to go/daily rate with some drivers who aren't corrupted by giving 20 dollar rides across town.

There is a Snooky train station?
I'm outdated on all the new stuff.

yeah its somewhere near the port i think,
have you not seen the news about the train between SHV and PP, that opened again last year?
goes SHV>Kampot>Takeo>Phnom Penh and visa versa
about $7.50 and i think takes around 8ish hours due to long stops at each station i think
