Siem Reap International Airport — What to Expect

Siem Reap International Airport is the gateway to Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument and Cambodia's most visited attraction. The new airport opened in 2023 about 50 km from the city center, replacing the older airport that was much closer. The greater distance makes a pre-booked transfer essential — there is no public transport to the city and tuk-tuks cannot cover this distance. The drive passes through flat countryside and takes about 50 minutes.

The new Siem Reap Airport opened in late 2023 and is significantly further from the city than the old one. A private transfer or organized transport is now mandatory for the journey.

Getting from REP to Siem Reap

Ground transport from Siem Reap International Airport depends on your group size, luggage and what time you land. Here are the realistic options at REP:

  • Pre-booked private transfer — fixed price from $10, driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, flight tracked automatically, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
  • Airport taxi — available at the taxi rank outside arrivals. Insist on the meter if metered taxis operate here.
  • Ride-hailing apps — Grab operates in Siem Reap but airport pickup zones may be away from arrivals.
  • Public transport — may include local buses or shuttles, but service can be infrequent and confusing for first-time visitors.

Taxi vs Ride Apps vs Public Transport at REP

At Siem Reap International Airport, your best option depends on when you arrive, how many people are traveling and how much luggage you have. Grab usually offers the lowest price, but airport pickup can be confusing. A pre-booked transfer costs slightly more but the driver meets you inside arrivals with no walking or waiting.
