REP Airport Transfer | Siem Reap International — Angkor Wat

Siem Reap International Airport (IATA: REP) is located 7 kilometres from the Old Market district and 12 kilometres from the Angkor Archaeological Park entrance. The airport serves the Angkor Wat tourism corridor and handles routes from Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City. Note: a new Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (IATA: SAI, approximately 50 km from the city) opened in late 2023 and is absorbing some commercial routes — check your flight details to confirm which airport your flight uses. A LocalsRide driver meets you inside the REP arrivals hall with a name sign for transfers to Siem Reap town and the Angkor temple complex.

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth pre-booking a car from Siem Reap Airport?

During high season (November–March), Grab availability at REP can be limited when multiple flights arrive simultaneously. Tuk-tuks vary in price and have limited luggage space. A pre-booked LocalsRide private car guarantees an air-conditioned vehicle at a fixed USD price — especially important for families with multiple bags.

Can I go directly from Siem Reap Airport to a temple in Angkor?

Yes — direct transfers from REP to Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Bayon, or Preah Khan are available. An Angkor pass is required. Afternoon arrivals often book directly to Angkor Wat for sunset (best 17:00–18:30). Your driver can wait and return you to your guesthouse after.
