How much are taxis from the airport into town (Phnom Penh and Siem Reap)?
Phnom Penh – there is a taxi booth where you pay $7 for the ride into town by car. This is a fairly high price given the distance. There are now official motorbike taxis, you’ll see them outside wearing vests, that’ll run you into town for $2. You can walk out to the street and you might be able to find a moto to take you in for a dollar. Sometimes you can walk away from the taxi drivers and one may then chase after you lowering his price to $5 and maybe less if he thinks he can get you into a hotel of his choosing, which is what he’s more interested in doing, anyway, then actually delivering you into town. Siem Reap Airport is controlled by the Tourist Transport Association. A car costs $5 and a motorbike is $1. You don’t have to pay at the desk, so don’t. Pay the driver directly and you’ll stand a much better chance of getting delivered where you want to go. For more information on transport from the Siem Reap – Angkor International Airport see my Siem Reap – Angkor guide.
