Getting to Siem Reap

Hello-

I will be traveling in Southeast Asia with my girlfriend at the end of March. I am an experienced SE Asia traveler and backpacker, but she is not. We will be spending a few days in Bangkok, Thailand and then will be traveling to Siem Reap, Cambodia.

What is the best way to get to Siem Reap from Bangkok? What is the best balance of cost and speed? We have an entire day to make the trip.

Thanks!

Getting to Siem Reap

best way between the 2 would be flying, but its not cheap as only Bangkok Air operates on that route.

If you have plans to go to PP too, you could fly there (the budget airline air asia does that route), and then take the mekong express caoach up to SR. For the return, could go back to PP and fly out, or fly out from SR to elsewhere

Overland travel between Thailand and cambodia is possible, not for faint hearted, try www.talesofasia.com for the best info on how to do this

If I travel through PP, what is the likely time of the trip?

AirAsia only fly from KL to Phnom Penh, not BKK.

My apologies, BKK to PP is open. When we travelled the only option was from KL which was a very cheap flight ...about $50

If arriving via a flight you will be given visa forms to fill out on your inbound flights.....simple and easy.

Happy %26amp; safe travels

Currently air asia have one flight going to/fro bkk and PP

15:10-16:20 (going to PP)

16:55-18:10 (leaving PP) - a return comes in at around 132$ - with an ecconomy promo

mekong express leaves PP daily at 7:30 and 12:30, will take around 4-5 hours

That option would leave you with at least one overnight in PP

flying in/out with bangkok air will give you a return flight of around 400$, but with at least 7 flights availble each day - every 1-2 hours, and takes less than an hour
