Banteay Chhmar & Banteay Top Getting there & around

Getting there & away

After having its bridges washed out by floods, NH69 – which links Banteay Chhmar with Sisophon (61km to the south; two hours) and Samraong (to the northeast; 1½ hours) – is getting a serious upgrade.

From Sisophon, most northbound pickups only go as far as Thmor Puok, where you can hire a moto to the temple (US$5 return). Or you can take a moto all the way from Sisophon (about US$10 return). Hotels in Sisophon may be able to rent you a motor­bike. There’s no public transport from Banteay Chhmar to Samraong.

By car, it’s possible to get out here on a very long day trip from Siem Reap.
