Sun Same, excellent driver and a better person

I just got back from Cambodia and would like to recommend a great driver in Siem Reap. I read about Sun Same through the postings here on Tripadvisor and was very impress with this young man. I%26#39;ve always been drawn to Cambodia because of it%26#39;s tragic history and the glory of Angkor Wat. Many of us travelers forget that the (people) of the country makes the experience a much fuller and deeper experience.

I spent 4 days with Sun from dusk till late into the night going from temples to lesser known areas. We shared all the meals and I got to know Sun well enought to say without any hesitation that he%26#39;s an honest, reliable and humble person that you can trust to bring you to the right locations and at the right time of day (avoiding crowds).

Sun is left with a mother and 3 sisters to care for after his father was killed by the Khmer Rouge (I asked Sun if it%26#39;s Ok to talk about this) Although he%26#39;s only 25 he%26#39;s taken on a heavy load like many Cambodians have embraced his responsibilities seriously.

If you need a driver in Siem Reap, give him a call

+855 92 55 25 35 or e-mail him at sunsame99@gmail.com. Please make sure you confirm with Sun because many times clients don%26#39;t confirm and either don%26#39;t show up or showed up and he%26#39;s not there due to lack of confirmation. This costs Sun a lot of money to rent a car spend $ for gas etc.. at the end of the day Sun only makes a few dollars after the car rental fee and high gas prices.. so do the right thing.

Please don%26#39;t read this and misinterpret it as a professional promotion or some sort of travel agency%26#39;s spam. If you need further validation you may contact me at hau.mai@retinastudios.com

Cheers and good travel,

Sun Same, excellent driver and a better person

Was his father killed during their ';governmental rule?'; If so, even if he was in the womb when his father died, he would need to be at least 29 years old now (not 25) if my calculations are correct.

Sun Same, excellent driver and a better person

That%26#39;s a very good point. I said he was 25 based on another post%26#39;s description of Sun%26#39;s age. I never did ask Sun%26#39;s age, but you%26#39;re right the Khmer Rouge reign ended in %26#39;79 but rebels continued long after that in the country side. It%26#39;s a hard subject for his family to discuss, I%26#39;d pried enough all ready.

My wife and I just got back from Siem Reap. We used Sun the whole time. He was great in every way so I do not understand how anybody could have a problem with him? Young and handsom and very polite. Speaks fluent english and just an over-all good guy! He showed up on time ect.

Hi all,

Me and my friends just returned from Siem Reap And I had a great time with Sun showing us all the site but specially the right time and place to go to skip the big buses.

You will not be disappointed with Sun%26#39;s service and gentle ways. He really honest and reliable.

Visit him for detail. www.driverinsiemreap.com

I would highly recommend him.

many tourists pre book and dont show up,many drivers to cover this take 2 or 3 bookings for the same date,beware of pre booking,with 1000s of great drivers all wanting to make a living just go with the flow and advoid disappointment.beware of drivers and guides using this site to self promote,under another handle

I vote we get admin to ban all new posts/topics reccommending any guide/driver .

Let%26#39;s get some real informative posts on this forum.It%26#39;s getting boring with just about every second topic about %26#39;you gotta have this guide%26#39;

Anyone want to hear about the rest of my ghost story...?Now that could be really interesting!

Sorry .Missed this...';LOL!';

100% agree..you know the really good ones are too busy doing there job then sitting in internet cafes emailing people anyway,or self promoting there services.

Yes, this is dang boring. And yes, 2 of the 3 posters here obviously were put up to do it by Sun himself - at least he lives up to his name - Same Same stuff on this forum. :P

If jimshu writes his ghost story, then at least we will have something new on this forum finally! Unless the ghost was recommending or is a guide! :) (Not to make light of the ghosts, but making fun of all this guide stuff....it%26#39;s never ending!)

This is exactly the kind of thread I was trying to avoid. As mentioned in my original post, I welcome any direct interaction to qualify that I%26#39;m not a spammer. The reason for the post was to try to help a young man clear his name which hurt his ability to earn a living. Like the ones you have just posted.

If we banned good service recommendation then what is the purpose of the forum? I have stayed in hotels/lodges based on good reviews here, ate at good restaurants because travelers enjoyed the food and visit locale that are not well known because someone stumbles upon a secret spot. I found Sun Same because many of you recommended him and I thank you all for doing just that.

Cheers,

Hau
