Renting a mophead in Siem Reap

HI ,
I want to rent a mophead to see the temples, can anyone tell me if i need a licence , or what other forms of transport can anyone reccomened and what kind of price ?
Thanks

Mopheads are free, head to hardware store, or barrow one from the Guesthouse.

While the hobo is correct, you shouldn't need one, your hotel staff will do the cleaning.

if you borrow a mophead from your guesthouse, i think it would be courteous to clean your own room. and don't forget to rinse & wring before you bring it back.

by the way, wouldn't it be more difficult to see the temples through a mophead? Anyway, I recommend extensions.

I guess you could try a flying broom if the mopheads are all rented out.

In an effort to defuse the rampant smart-arsery....(seriously guys, were any of the above 4 posts necessary?)

You can't rent a moped/motorbike in Siem Reap. I believe you can rent a motorbike in Phnom Penh and ride it to Siem Reap; but I'm really not altogether sure.

You CAN rent these electric bikes, which are basically pushbikes with little electric motors on them. They don't seem to go very fast; compared to a motorbike, but a bit faster than traditional pedalling will get you. Im not certain how much they cost, I remember hearing $5 a day or so; there seemed to be charging stations located around various temples.

Alternate transport: walk; rent a tuk-tuk with driver (cost me $12USD a day. A Cambodian tuk-tuk is a moto with covered trailer. Quite nifty); rent a moto with a driver (cost about $10USD a day I think, perhaps less); rent a car with driver for the day ($25USD I think; more if you want to go to the outlying temples).

I quite liked my tuk-tuk. The breeze in the face as rode along was refreshing; and you sat comfortably as opposed to holding on to the back of a moto for dear life. Note also the driver will just drive; mine told me what temple we arrived at, but that was the extent of it. If you want a guide, you have to hire them seperately.

I think you are confusing a mop with a broom also, when you get the broom, you sit on it not put it on your head.

Agree with all the Commissioner has written. Wouldn't go for those electric bikes.
Also agree with what the others have said ;)

Tourists are prohibited from renting mopheads in Siem Reap. If you want one you'll have to track down a licensed cleaner and have them clean up your room for you.
