Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI) lists an airport shuttle bus and ground-transport partners for the road journey into town. Its airport transport page provides current terminal pickup information but no published town journey duration. (SAI transport information, checked 2026-09-28)
The official Airport Shuttle Bus is the straightforward shared choice. At SAI, leave arrivals and follow the Airport Bus sign to the counter on the left. In town, the bus station is on 7 Makara Road, in front of ACE School. The service is a station-to-station transfer rather than a hotel route. (SAI airport shuttle information, checked 2026-09-28) (Siem Reap Airport Bus, checked 2026-09-28)
Cambodia Post operates another shared service between the Siem Reap Post Office and SAI. Its booking form asks for the direction, date, departure time, flight number and passenger count, making it useful when the published timetable matches your flight. The service ends at the Post Office, so plan the final ride to your accommodation separately. (Cambodia Post airport transfer, checked 2026-09-28)
For direct hotel travel, use the official taxi desk or arrange a private car. SAI names the Tourist Transport Association for Siem Reap International Airport as an official taxi partner. The airport also marks a Grab pickup point on the first-floor arrivals transport area, 60 metres from the international exit.

Treat every published time as a road-leg estimate
The airport transport page and the Airport Shuttle Bus operator list routes or departure times but do not publish a fixed SAI-to-town journey duration. Allow additional time for road traffic, baggage, the bus station and the final connection to the accommodation. (SAI transport and directions, checked 2026-09-28; Airport Shuttle Bus operator, checked 2026-09-28)
The Airport Shuttle Bus finishes at 7 Makara Road, not at individual hotels. Its operator says hotel pickup and drop-off are not included in the standard service. The booking page separately offers free hotel drop-off for arriving passengers whose hotel is within 3 km of the bus station. For a farther address, continue by tuk-tuk, taxi or another arranged ride. (Siem Reap Airport Bus station information, checked 2026-09-28) (Airport bus booking page, checked 2026-09-28)
The airport shuttle bus timetable gives scheduled departures rather than promised arrival times. If baggage, immigration or a late inbound flight cuts into the gap before your chosen departure, ask the operator whether the booking can be moved or choose a direct ride. The airport pages do not promise that a bus waits for delayed flights. (Airport Shuttle Bus operator, checked 2026-09-28; SAI transport and directions, checked 2026-09-28)
A taxi removes the shared station transfer, but it still covers the full road distance from SAI. Give the driver the exact accommodation address and allow time for the road journey rather than planning from the flight’s landing time alone. (SAI transport information, checked 2026-09-28)

Use the published shared-transfer fares
The Airport Shuttle Bus publishes US$8 one way per passenger in both directions. The operator also publishes a US$2 tuk-tuk service for pickup from a hotel in town. For arriving passengers, the booking page says hotel drop-off from the bus station is free within 3 km; keep that condition attached to the bus fare. (Siem Reap Airport Bus, checked 2026-09-28) (Airport bus booking page, checked 2026-09-28)
Cambodia Post publishes US$9 one way per passenger. Tickets are available through its Siem Reap Post Office service and the operator’s booking contacts. The published fare covers the airport-to-Post-Office or Post-Office-to-airport shuttle; the page does not publish a hotel-transfer supplement or include the final journey to your accommodation. (Cambodia Post airport transfer, checked 2026-09-28)
SAI does not publish the standard fare for its official taxi partner on the transport page. Ask the official desk for the complete price for your destination, vehicle and passenger group before leaving the terminal. This is the relevant comparison for families or groups with luggage because the shared bus prices are charged per passenger. (SAI transport information, checked 2026-09-28)
An airport promotion launched on 1 August 2026 offers eligible domestic-flight passengers 50% off the Airport Shuttle Bus and US$10 off the official taxi per car. The airport names Air Cambodia and Cambodia Airways as participating airline partners. Arrivals need a same-day boarding pass; departures need a confirmed e-ticket. No end date is published, so confirm eligibility and current availability with SAI before counting on the discount. (SAI domestic-flight transfer promotion, checked 2026-09-28)

Book against the published departure tables
The Airport Shuttle Bus lists ten SAI-to-town departures: 09:30, 11:00, 12:30, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 17:30, 19:00, 20:00 and 22:00. Town-to-airport departures are 05:30, 07:00, 08:00, 10:00, 12:00, 13:30, 15:00, 16:00 and 19:00. The operator publishes these individual departures rather than a fixed interval. (Siem Reap Airport Bus, checked 2026-09-28)
The operator lists individual departures, not a regular headway. From SAI, its displayed departures are 09:30, 11:00, 12:30, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 17:30, 19:00, 20:00 and 22:00. For the return, town departures are 05:30, 07:00, 08:00, 10:00, 12:00, 13:30, 15:00, 16:00 and 19:00. Recheck the date and seats in the booking flow. (Airport Shuttle Bus operator, checked 2026-09-28)
At SAI, the bus station is on the first-floor arrivals welcome area, in front of the international exit and under the bridge. The airport directs passengers to the Airport Bus sign and counter after leaving arrivals. Confirm the selected departure there if your flight is delayed or your luggage takes longer than planned. (SAI shuttle-bus information, checked 2026-09-28) (SAI landside transport layout, checked 2026-09-28)
The schedule is a departure list, so gaps vary during the day and there is no basis for describing it as a frequent service. The airport directs passengers to the Airport Bus counter on the left after they exit arrivals; use that counter to confirm boarding instructions if your flight is delayed. (SAI shuttle-bus information, checked 2026-09-28; Airport Shuttle Bus operator, checked 2026-09-28)
Cambodia Post lists eight city departures hourly from 06:30 to 13:30, and SAI departures at 09:30, 10:45, 11:45, 12:45, 13:45, 14:45, 15:45 and 16:45. The page gives no timetable effective date; confirm the travel date and flight when booking. (Cambodia Post airport transfer, checked 2026-09-28)

Plan late arrivals and Sunday travel around the tables
The latest published Airport Shuttle Bus departure from SAI is 22:00. The reverse service’s latest listed departure from town is 19:00. A flight arriving after the airport bus’s published pattern needs a direct transfer arranged at the official taxi desk or through accommodation. (Siem Reap Airport Bus, checked 2026-09-28) (SAI transport information, checked 2026-09-28)
The operator’s public schedule does not show a separate Sunday timetable or Sunday surcharge. Select the actual travel date in the booking flow and confirm the departure before travelling; airport directions establish the pickup location but do not add off-schedule departures. (Airport Shuttle Bus operator, checked 2026-09-28; SAI landside transport layout, checked 2026-09-28)
For late or Sunday travel, keep the accommodation address and flight number ready. SAI places the tourist service centre beside the international exit and the bus station in the arrivals welcome area. The official taxi partner is the practical direct option when the shared timetable does not fit the landing or departure. (SAI landside transport layout, checked 2026-09-28) (SAI domestic-flight transfer promotion, checked 2026-09-28)
For a scheduled daytime arrival, reserve the US$8 Airport Shuttle Bus when a listed departure and the town station suit you. The airport-listed taxi partner or a confirmed app ride can suit a direct hotel journey or a landing outside the shared-bus schedule. SAI’s transport pages do not publish a fixed taxi fare or a guaranteed road journey duration, so confirm both with the provider for the travel date.
