Local Travel: 🛺 Tuk-tuks: ~$1 per 1-2 km (bargain hard!). Use Grab app for fixed prices. ✈️ Airport transfers: Tuk-tuk from Phnom Penh/Sihanoukville airports; avoid tuk-tuks to Siem Reap Airport (take the $8 shuttle bus instead). Top Attractions 🌟 📍Phnom Penh: Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum & Killing Fields (heavy but essential). Central Market, riverside night stroll. Warning: Some bars discreetly offer � "happy" items. 📍Siem Reap (Angkor Wat): 🎫 Tickets: 1-day $37 | 3-day $62 | 7-day $72. Must-see temples: Angkor Wat (sunrise!). Bayon (smiling stone faces).
