Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
boats have been remodelled to offer tourists a degree of comfort. All CBET-sanctioned
boats have life-vests and carry a spare engine. It is best to book the boat or
moto
in ad-
vance, as you will get pick-up information from the visitor centre. If you arrive after the
CBET boat has departed (or is full), or want to make your own way to Chi Phat, you can
hire a private boat (US$30 for the whole boat). These tend to be loaded with produce and
locals, so are a more colourful means of transport, but you'll have to haggle on a price.
Boats return to Andoung Teuk every morning in time to catch an onward bus.
It is also possible to arrange a
moto
($US7, 45 minutes) to travel the 17km unsealed
road, but the boats are far more atmospheric and relaxing. The road to Chi Phat is un-
sealed but in pretty good shape. Follow the telephone lines and use the car ferry to cross
the river. Motorbikers can use a smaller ferry, located 100m to the left of the main ferry, if
requiring a charter.
