Siem Reap Airport Transfer (REP) — Fixed Price

Siem Reap International Airport is 7 kilometres from the Old Market (Phsar Chas) — the centre of the backpacker and mid-range hotel district. The Angkor Archaeological Park entrance is approximately 12 kilometres from the airport (6 km beyond the town centre). Grab operates in Siem Reap. Tuk-tuks are standard at the airport and are the local choice for short trips around town; for airport arrivals with suitcases, an air-conditioned private car is more practical. Through LocalsRide, the USD price is fixed and a named driver is waiting at the arrivals exit — important during peak high season (November–March) when the airport is busy and drivers are in short supply.

Frequently asked questions

Can I go directly from Siem Reap Airport to Angkor Wat?

Yes — a private car from REP to Angkor Wat main entrance takes approximately 20–28 minutes (12 km). Useful for afternoon arrivals wanting to catch late-afternoon light at Angkor Wat (sunset from the western side is best 17:00–18:30).

Is there a new airport for Siem Reap?

The new Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI) opened ~50 km from the city in late 2023. The old REP airport (7 km from city) continues on a transitional basis. Check your flight ticket for the airport code — REP vs SAI — as transfer times differ significantly.
