Cambodia Airways is adding three new international routes from Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, giving travelers more direct options for combining Siem Reap with Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang.
The new services are scheduled to begin on September 15, 2026, and are particularly useful for travelers building multi-country itineraries around Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam.
What New Flights Are Available From Siem Reap?
According to Cambodia Airways, the airline will operate direct flights from Siem Reap to three regional destinations:
| Route | Operating days | Start date |
|---|---|---|
| Siem Reap – Bangkok | Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday | September 15, 2026 |
| Siem Reap – Ho Chi Minh City | Tuesday and Saturday | September 15, 2026 |
| Siem Reap – Da Nang | Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday | September 15, 2026 |
The airline has announced this operating schedule for the period from September 15 through October 24, 2026. Travelers should check the latest schedule when booking because flight frequencies can change.
Why These New Flights Matter for Travelers
The new routes make Siem Reap easier to combine with other popular Southeast Asian destinations.
For travelers visiting Angkor Wat, the Bangkok connection is especially useful for building a Thailand–Cambodia itinerary without relying on a land border crossing. This is currently relevant because Cambodia–Thailand land borders remain closed, making air travel the practical alternative for travelers moving between the two countries.
The Vietnam routes are also useful for travelers combining Cambodia with Vietnam. A direct Siem Reap–Ho Chi Minh City or Siem Reap–Da Nang flight can save significant travel time compared with traveling overland or connecting through another Cambodian airport.
If you are planning your first visit, our Siem Reap Travel Guide covers the main areas to stay, things to do and practical information for planning your trip.
Siem Reap to Bangkok
The new Bangkok service operates five days a week, making it the most frequent of the three new routes.
This is particularly useful for travelers who want to visit Bangkok before or after Angkor Wat. Instead of planning a land crossing, you can fly directly between the two cities and build Siem Reap into a wider Thailand and Cambodia itinerary.
Travelers should also remember that Bangkok has two major airports, so check whether your flight uses Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang when planning onward transportation.
Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City
The Siem Reap–Ho Chi Minh City route is scheduled twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
This gives travelers another straightforward way to combine southern Vietnam with Cambodia. It can be particularly convenient for itineraries such as Ho Chi Minh City → Siem Reap → Bangkok or Bangkok → Siem Reap → Ho Chi Minh City.
If you are flying into Siem Reap for Angkor Wat, check our Siem Reap Airport Guide before arrival for information about getting from the airport into the city.
Siem Reap to Da Nang
The new Siem Reap–Da Nang service is scheduled four times a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
This connection is particularly interesting for travelers combining Angkor Wat with central Vietnam. Da Nang provides access to the beaches and city attractions of central Vietnam, as well as nearby Hoi An.
For a multi-country trip, this means you can visit Angkor Wat and then continue directly to central Vietnam without returning to Phnom Penh.
