How to get from the airport into Pubstreet

Visitors to Siem Reap will be relieved to hear that airport transfers to Pubstreet are just about as painless as humanly possible. The reason for this is that there’s virtually no competition from the Siem Reap Airport (REP) and the drivers have strict rules about not line-jumping or undercutting each other. This means prices are set and you will not usually need to bargain.

You have four options for getting to Pubstreet from the airport: taxi, moto, tuk tuk, or van taxi.

Taking a taxi from Siem Reap Airport

When you arrive at Siem Reap Airport, immediately after exiting the building you’ll see a taxi stand where you can book a taxi for $7 or a van taxi for $10. A regular taxi can seat four passengers although it will be a tight squeeze, and the trunk will not have enough room for more than two suitcases. If you have four or more people, go with the van option which can usually seat 6+ passengers and comfortably carry their luggage.

If you book a taxi through your hotel, the cost is usually around $10, but can go much higher from the luxury hotels in town.

Taking a tuk tuk from Siem Reap Airport

If you go past the scrum of taxi drivers and walk just off the sidewalk outside the airport door, you’ll be confronted with a group of men shouting “tuk tuk!” You can get a tuk tuk into Siem Reap’s city center for $5. Tuk tuks can seat up to four passengers, but they will try to charge you more if you have multiple passengers. Siem Reap tuk tuk drivers are notorious for dropping you off at your hotel and then offering incredibly cheap temple tours, and then changing the price mid-tour. Because of this, it’s best to avoid using the airport tuk tuk drivers for your temple tours (instead book one through your hotel or find someone you like at any of the night markets in town).

If you book an airport pickup through your hotel, they will usually send a tuk tuk to pick you up. Prices range from free to $7, so if your hotel is on the higher end, you’re better off getting one from the airport on your own.

Taking a moto from Siem Reap Airport

Motos are also available from the taxi stand for $2. Don’t wear your bag on your back, ask the driver to hold the bag up front or hold it between yourself and the driver. New arrivals are easy targets for bag snatchers, so be especially careful on motos or when you put your bag down to pay for your transport.
