Angkor Wat Day Trip From Phnom Penh, Here Is how To do it! It’s Possible!

If you’re a solo traveller and want to do Angkor Wat but don’t have much time, try a day trip from Phnom Penh. It’s easier than you expect!

Air Asia now fly daily domestic flights between Phnom Penh and the new airport in Siem Reap and it’s great for making a quick trip to the wonder of the world. Air Cambodia also fly the route but they are obviously a lot more expensive!

I was worried about doing a few days on my own so I got the early morning flight and it took around 45 minutes. I then had a guide meet me at the airport, take me to Angkor Wat and give me a tour of the main sites. We managed to get all the main areas and have a nice lunch, it’s definitely something that can take longer but one day is enough if you just want to experience it!

Then I got dropped into the center of Siem Reap and got the airport shuttle to the terminal, it took just under an hour. The airport is brand new and super efficient so you can get there just before your flight!

Im so glad I managed to do this, it isn’t the most ideal planning but if you only have a day this proves you can do it!
