Caltex

Caltex is a fuel in Takeo, Cambodia — one of 23 transport points we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 277 mapped locations in Takeo. In Khmer it would be described as ស្ថានីយ៍ប្រេងឥន្ធនៈនៅតាកែវ. It sits at 10.95933, 104.66011, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a transport point, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Takeo. It maintains an official website, which is the best place to confirm current prices and opening times before you travel.

The easiest way to find Caltex is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 0 m south of DGREEN Coffee & Restaurant, and about 900 m south of good toilet, with Nice Coffee a further 3.9 km south. Drivers in Takeo usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Takeo, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

Caltex is mapped as a fuel in Takeo and functions as a pickup, drop-off or interchange point for local traffic. Long-distance buses and minivans in Cambodia mostly run on morning and early-afternoon departures, with the last services leaving in the late afternoon; overnight sleeper buses connect the main cities. Buy tickets a day ahead during festivals, when seats on every route sell out.

Tuk-tuks and app-based rides (PassApp, Grab) wait at most terminals and stations, and fixing the fare before you get in remains standard practice for street tuk-tuks. Allow extra time in the rainy season, when unsealed approach roads and provincial highways slow everything down.

Caltex is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including DGREEN Coffee & Restaurant (restaurant, 0 m south), good toilet (bus station, 900 m south), Nice Coffee (cafe, 3.9 km south), Kelvin Coffee (cafe, 5.1 km north). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
