Travel to Cambodia |
|
At the beginning of
2000, Cambodia adopted an Open 'Air' policy. Since then there has
been a number of press releases promoting direct flights to Siem
Reap International Airport from Singapore, Vietnam and several other
countries, as well as the regular flights by Bangkok Airways from
Bangkok, Sukhothai and Phuket. Royal Air Cambodge, the national carrier of Cambodia, flies to Phnom Penh from all the international destinations listed below.
|
In addition, there are direct non-stop
flights to Phnom Penh from: Bangkok (Thai Airways International); Ho
Chi Minh City (Vietnam Airlines); Guangzhou (Canton); Hong Kong (Dragonair);
Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia Airlines); Singapore (Silk Air); and
Vientiane (Lao Aviation
). There are now direct international flights
on
Bangkork Airways
from Bangkok to Siem Reap three times daily; a
very easy and convenient journey making Angkor a convenient weekend
destination from Bangkok. Connecting flights are available to most
parts of the world from these destinations. To travel with Bangkok
