Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI)

SAI to town: one licensed taxi, ride-hailing car or hotel car, 45–75 minutes over about 40 km (25 mi) — the risk is not the ride but a late landing and a hotel that cannot let you in.

Hotel car (arranged in advance) or the airport taxi counter, straight to the door.
Precision
This page keeps the old REP code in its address; the airport that opened in October 2023 (IATA SAI) is about 40 km (25 mi) from town and replaced the old airport next to the town. Confirm the airport on your ticket and the pickup point (field-verify).

If it breaks

  • Message your hotel with your flight number and ask for a car at arrivals; the airport is far from town and rides are not cheap late at night.
  • Use the airport taxi counter, the ride-hailing app or your hotel's car; decline drivers who approach you inside the hall.
  • If you land after 22:00, confirm in writing that the hotel will let you in.
