I had a pleasant experience being driven around in Siem Reap by Vinith Vuth. He is stationed at the airport but you may hire his services to drive you around Siem Reap. Vin, as his clients know him, is an awesome guy who treats his clients like family. With this, you are assured of your comfort & safety. Most importantly, this man is honest and not opportunistic in looting tourist money. Vin is very knowledgeable on Cambodiaโs history and its attractions. He converses well in English and very sociable person.
Sure, tuktuks abound in Siem Reap but getting around in a car makes you weave around the maze of temples very quick, it brings you to attractions in farther places like Beng Malea & Kulen Mountain. Contract price per day starts at $30 and it varies depending on your agreed itinerary. He drives a clean Toyota sedan but you can opt for a crossover or SUV at a different rate. He can run your errands that require โspecial local accommodationsโ, look for hotels and negotiate matters in difficult Khmer.
I have been to Siem Reap a couple of times and he drives me around whenever I am in town. In some days that I do not hire his services, he drops by for a cup of quick tea or to just check if I am OK. I have met his family and in one occasion they even gave me a send-off dinner. I have recommended Vin to many of my friends and theyโre all so happy with his services.
I give this guy 5-star!
Summary: He is not your ordinary driver in Siem Reap!

We coincidently met Vin at the airport and was looking for a transfer to our hotel in Siem Reap when he asked if we have any itinerary and transport planned before he offered us his services. We hesitated but decided to take his services for 3 days as he promised the price offered is very reasonable. He’s very friendly and kept us entertained throughout our journey not forgetting he’s also very easy going. He worked hard keeping us comfortable and treated us sincerely. Being able to speak English and knowledgeable with the history of the places we visit, we would recommend him to our friends and family if they are planning to visit here. Definitely the trip will have plenty laughters and joy with reasonable price.
Vin is by far one of the best and genuine person you meet in Cambodia. My trip to Cambodia was made extra special and hassle free because of the fact that
1. He knows almost all the cultural spots in Angkor with a rich historical background and stories to go along the car ride.
2. He proactively suggests and gives his recommendations to which temples or restaurants to go first making sure that you cover all grounds while still sticking to your itinerary.
3. He speaks fluent and good english and can serve as a translator all throughout your trip.
I’ve already been raving about his knowledge and transportation services to almost anyone I meet that will go on a trip to Cambodia.
P.S. Thanks Potpot for introducing me to Vin!
