Getting there
From National Road No 6 go to Sivatha Boulevard then opposite AC lida bank you see the sign Family Guest House.By air:
There is an airport just 6km outside the town. It serves domestic flights from Phnom Penh as well as international flights from most South-East Asian cities.
The only airline that flies the Bangkok – Siem Reap route is Bangkok Air, the flight is less than an hour and it is a full service flight which means that you get a full meal and drinks as well.
It may not be the cheapest option but it is a great flight and certainly the most convenient way to get between the two cities.
Best price is usually found right on their website www.bangkokair.com.
You should certainly book ahead as the flights do sell out.
The best way to get to Siem Reap from the airport is via taxi (15 minute) or moto (motor-taxi).
You could also fly Air Asia into Phnom Penh and then take the bus to Siem Reap (4 - 6 hours, US $9.00 for Mekong Express).
This route, though, will also take up the better part of a day, so if time is not something you have, the direct flight to Siem Reap is the best option.
By taxi:
From Phnom Penh, Battambang and Poipet you can go by taxi your own or shared.
By bus:
Buses leave Phnom Penh regularly for Siem Reap, although the road between both places isn’t the best one in the world, meaning long journeys. You can also travel to the town via bus from Bangkok.
You can make the journey over land, but it will take you a full day to get by bus from Bangkok to the border, Poipet, and then by bus or taxi to Siem Reap.
By boat:
Boats leave Phnom Penh for Phnom Krom which is 11km south of Siem Reap.
If you have time, a nice trip is to take the bus to Battambang from Poipet, stay there over the night and then the boat to Phnom Krom.
The best information about the overland trip can be found at www.talesofasia.com.
By train:
There is no train to Siem Reap, but from Phnom Penh you can go by train to Battambang and then by boat to Phnom Krom.
