Is the Thailand-Cambodia Land Border Open?

No. Land borders and crossings between Thailand and Cambodia continue to be suspended, and the UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel within 20 km of the border.[1] That rules out the overland route by bus, van or car via Aranyaprathet and Poipet for now.

Bangkok to Angkor Wat by Plane

Fly from Bangkok to Siem Reap, the gateway to the Angkor temples. Bangkok Airways flies from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI), a direct flight of about 1 hour 20 minutes.[2] AirAsia flies nonstop from Bangkok, including from Don Mueang Airport (DMK), in about 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes. Fares start from 2,960 baht.[3]

Siem Reap is the gateway town for the Angkor temples, and Angkor Wat at sunrise is the classic first morning.

  • Check the border news: If the land crossing reopens, the overland route through Aranyaprathet and Poipet becomes an option again.
