Women in Cambodia
Women working with skill, independence and public pride — the context behind every booking.
The rose-stone temple of Banteay Srei is often associated with the idea of fine work by women's hands. For Angkor Lady Drivers and Tours, that is background color, not a costume: the real story is modern women doing visible, skilled, paid work in Siem Reap.
A women-led driving company matters because driving — like most transport work in Cambodia — is still a field where men hold most of the paid, public-facing roles. Every booking puts a woman driver in that seat instead, earning the fare directly.
Every booking puts a woman driver in visible, trusted work across Siem Reap.
Angkor Lady Drivers and Tours exists to give local women real, respected work behind the wheel: skilled drivers who know the roads, earn the fare directly and represent the company with pride.
