Siem Reap International Airport Transfers (REP)
Private airport transfer at REP — fixed price, meet & greet, flight tracking. 50 km to Angkor area, travel time 45–60 min, from $10.
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.
