Just landed at Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI) and wondering what’s the easiest and most affordable way to reach the town center? Since the new airport is located about 45 km (28 miles) from downtown, planning your ride ahead of time will save you time and hassle.
From official airport shuttles to taxis and private transfers, there are several convenient options depending on your budget and travel style.
Why you shouldn’t miss this tip
Arriving in a new country after a long flight can be overwhelming. Knowing your ground transport options in advance ensures a smooth exit from the terminal, avoiding overcharged fares and setting a stress-free tone for your Cambodian trip.
Did you know?
An official airport shuttle bus operates daily between SAI Airport and the town center for a very budget-friendly rate (around $9 USD one-way). It is by far the best option for solo travelers or those packing light.
Your host’s tip:
If you are traveling as a couple or group, taking an official airport taxi or pre-booking a private driver is often more economical and direct (around $30–$35 USD total). Feel free to share your arrival details with us prior to your trip—we can easily arrange a trusted private pickup waiting for you right at arrivals.
