Flights Bangkok-Siem Reap are run by Bangkok Airways, who have a monopoly on the route. Prices are consequently high especially compared to the generally low cost of short haul flights in Asia. The service is good and there are frequent daily flights between Siem Reap and Bangkok on this 50 minute route.
Two types of aircraft are used on the Bangkok to Siem Reap flight. Either an Airbus A320 or an ATR Turboprop. The flight with the latter takes around 10 minutes longer.
Travel between Bangkok and Siem Reap is now possible overland, at a high standard of comfort, with {ph-luxe}, a new land transfer service connecting the two cities. The {ph-luxe} transfer is much cheaper for families or small groups, is door-to-door, and is usually less than 6 hours with the VIP immiigration service at the border. The days of the backpacker "scam bus" as the only alternative to flying are numbered...
Generally we do not supply international air tickets: we can offer advice on traveling to Cambodia by air, but we have found that we can rarely find better deals than are able to be found on the internet. We therefore recommend that you arrange your flight to Cambodia, and let us look after you once you are here. It is sometimes possible to arrange group flights to Cambodia, so please get in contact if you would like to investigate cheap flight packages for groups to the country, and we may be able to arrange tickets if you are unable to book online for any reason.
Peerless service standards and local positioning have made us the tour operator of choice by international luxury travel groups and discerning independent travellers to Angkor Wat, Cambodia and Southeast Asia.
