🌟 Why Locals (and Grab) Separate the Two

  1. Shape & Safety
    Remorque is literally a trailer—slower, roomier, perfect for temple dirt tracks. Tuk-tuks are purpose-built rigs that corner tighter in city traffic.  
  2. Cultural Quirk
    Cambodians often call everything “tuk-tuk,” but transport nerds (and the Grab app) label trailers Remorque and three-wheelers Tuk-Tuk so you tap the right button.  
  3. Temple Logistics
    Angkor security happily waves both through, yet drivers agree the airy remorque wins for cooling airflow and epic wide-angle shots of Ta Prohm vines.  

🥊 Eric Kim’s Showdown Verdict

  • Need squad space, tripod, or snack cooler? Grab a Remorque—your rolling veranda on wheels.
  • Riding solo, racing sunset cocktails? Book a Tuk-Tuk and weave like a boss.
  • Whichever roar you choose, tip your driver, blast your hype playlist, and remember: the journey is half the legend!
