✈️ Getting there

REPSiem Reap-Angkor International Airport

📍 48 km⏱ 55 min🚕 Taxi🚌 Tuk-tuk🚌 Private transfer

The new Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport opened in 2023 and sits 48km from town — a shared shuttle runs for around USD 12, or book a private taxi for USD 25-30 through your hotel in advance.

The new Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport is a large, modern facility with Khmer-inspired architecture, handling Air Asia, Bangkok Airways, Vietnam Airlines, and China Eastern among others — the old airport closer to town is now closed.

Hidden gems and local experiences in Siem Reap — beyond the tourist trail.

🌄Book a pre-dawn tuk-tuk to Angkor Wat for sunrise — arrive by 5:15am, position yourself on the left side of the reflecting pool, and stay until 7:30am when most day-trippers have already arrived and the light has gone flat. The three-day Angkor pass (USD 62) is far better value than a single day.

🌳Visit Ta Prohm (the 'tomb raider temple') at 3pm when morning tour buses have cleared — the strangler fig trees growing through the stone galleries are genuinely dramatic, not just Instagram bait, and the late afternoon light is extraordinary.

🍜Eat fish amok (coconut-steamed fish in banana leaf) at Mahob Restaurant on Sivatha Boulevard — this is Khmer fine dining done by chefs who trained in the temple kitchens' culinary heritage project, not a tourist approximation.

🚴Rent a bicycle (USD 2-3/day from town guesthouses) and cycle the small circuit of Angkor temples — the road via Pre Rup, East Mebon, and Ta Som is largely flat and you'll have many sections entirely to yourself before 8am.

🎭Attend a Apsara dance performance at Angkor Village Theatre or Smile of Angkor — book the dinner-show package, which funds working classical dancers whose art nearly disappeared under the Khmer Rouge, and sit close to the stage for the headdress detail.
