Was there in January and the locals (even at the hotel) say it's called "The official name for them is the French word remorque"
Quick search shows this
"Motor cycles with trailers were known in Cambodia as remorque+ for decades before the use of +tuk tuk appeared very recently - around the year 2000 would be my guess."
Government now wants the old name restored. They are different than in Thailand since they are motorbikes with a trailer vs a 3 wheeler.

Quebec's language police seem to make it work, but it's very hard to get people to change the way they talk.
Cambodia is NOT a likely first Asia country to be visited, so the sound of familiar tuk tuk will comfort most first time visitors @:-)

There's a new Transit e-visa for Cambodia, which became effective Sept 1st. It's good for three days and costs $15 + $7 electronic processing fee + a possible $3 "additional payment gateway service charge"...
I'm wondering if anyone has tested the limits of these "three days"--are they calendar days or 24-hour periods?
I'm arriving on a Thursday night and flying out Sunday morning...so 3 nights, but not a full 3 days. Wondering if I fit the criteria for the Transit e-visa.

I read several pages but wanted to verify.
For a US citizen coming into Siem Reap from BKK, I need one passport photo, my passport, and $35USD to get the VOA?
I read that someone scanned their passport and cropped it to be their picture and printed it out? Is that effective enough or do I need to hit a walgreens to have legit pictures printed out? I plan on bringing several due to needing several separate visas.

I don't think they care too much about pictures. But you can always take a selfie with you phone, use something like idphoto print or the official cropping tool, download it online and print the sheet of 6 pictures at CVS for about 20 cents. I used it on multiple visas.

Well, I had my photos ready to go on chest of drawers to take with me to PHN, alas when I arrived, did not have them. They were waiting for me in the same place when I returned home
But as I posted upthread, no problem, they took their own and charged me $2 IIRC. It just took longer to get through than other pax

For e-visa
Well, decided to go with e-visa this time. Last year wait/processing time was 30 min and I hope to cut that to 5 min now.
The e-visa came with following instructions, which are self-explanatory. Question - is there anything below which different with the reality at REP?
Do I understand correctly that I won't need any more passport photos to carry and anything to pay at the counter?
