BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - July 26, 2017 - PRLog -- In what is believed to be a first for the country, the owners of the recently-opened Jaya House River Park Hotel in Siem Reap, decided to adapt some of the tuk-tuks used by the hotel so that they can provide access for wheelchair users.

Christian De Boer, the General Manager of Jaya House said: "Our hotel has been vetted by a Norwegian Paralympic Team member and we have taken advice from him on room design and its facilities, so that some are now wheelchair friendly.

"But of course people in wheelchairs also want to see all of our famous sites so we came upon the idea of adapting some of the hotel's tuk-tuks, which we provide free of charge for hotel guests to explore the nearby Temples of Angkor – we have nicknamed them 'Mobili-Tuk-Tuks'."

The wheelchair-friendly tuk-tuks are the latest innovation from the hotel which recently trained Cambodia's first female tuk-tuk drivers.

Recognising that women tend to be more cautious and less reckless drivers, Christian and his team decided to train a group of women to become the first female tuk-tuk drivers, and the move has been well received by hotel guests.
