Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Pub Street in Siem Reap is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Siem Reap Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Siem Reap Airport (SAI)
Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI) opened in 2023 in Soutr Nikom district, about 50 km east of Siem Reap town and roughly 40 km east of Angkor Wat in a straight line; Phnom Penh is about 310 km to the south-east.
Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Siem Reap Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer.
Searches for "SAI to Pub Street" or "SAI airport transfer" land here for a reason: SAI is the airport code for Siem Reap Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Pub Street.
Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Siem Reap Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street?
The airport taxi fare from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Pub Street involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Pub Street, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street: is there a bus, train or metro?
The new airport is about 50 km from town and there is no train or metro; airport minibuses, taxis and ride-hailing cars run to the centre, but they add up on the long drive, so a private car is simpler for a family, a late arrival, a temple-side resort or a long onward drive to Phnom Penh or Battambang.
So the honest comparison for Pub Street is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.
About Pub Street
Pub Street and the Old Market quarter lie in the middle of Siem Reap, about 50 km west of Siem Reap Airport. Pub Street is the busiest evening street in Siem Reap, a short block of restaurants, cafes, massage shops and neon signs that joins the Old Market and the Night Market lanes. Khmer set menus, grilled street food and fresh fruit shakes are on offer late into the night, and the side alleys hold small boutiques, tailors and craft stalls. Most hotels here are within a few minutes on foot, and Angkor Wat is only about 6 km north by tuk-tuk. It suits first-time visitors who want everything close and enjoy an animated setting after a day among the temples.
Around Pub Street the areas travellers ask us about most are Wat Bo and Wat Damnak, Charles de Gaulle Road towards the temples, Temple-side resorts near Angkor and Tonle Sap villages such as Kampong Phluk. Tell us the hotel and the driver takes the best route into that part of Siem Reap on the day.
Things to do in Pub Street
Once you have checked in, Pub Street is worth exploring: Old Market (Psar Chas), Angkor Night Market, Khmer restaurants and street food and Alley boutiques and craft stalls. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.
Where to stay in Pub Street
Where visitors stay in Pub Street: Old Market area, The Alley West lanes, Kandal Village and Along the river near Sivutha Boulevard. Our Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.
The street itself is largely pedestrian in the evening, so the driver drops you at the nearest corner; ask your hotel to confirm the closest drop-off point.
Eating well after the Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street drive
Food is part of the arrival. Around Pub Street you will find Khmer red curry, green mango salad, sticky rice with mango and fish amok, and most of our drivers can tell you where they eat themselves. If you would rather go straight from Siem Reap Airport to a table than to the hotel, mention it when you book and the driver drops you close by.
Best time to travel to Pub Street
November to February is cool and dry and the best time for temples; March to May is very hot; June to October is green season with afternoon showers and high water on the Tonle Sap, and sunrise at Angkor Wat is busiest from December to January and around Khmer New Year in mid-April.
Seasonal traffic is the driver's problem, not yours: the Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street price is agreed in advance and a slower drive costs nothing extra. If you are travelling at a busy time, let the desk know your plans for the day of arrival and they will suggest the best pickup timing.
Meeting your driver at Siem Reap Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Siem Reap Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If your flight is delayed, we know: every Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer is flight-tracked and the pickup moves with your real landing time.
Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Siem Reap Airport.
Our vehicles for the Pub Street transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Siem Reap Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Pub Street transfer
The Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer suits anyone who values a plan: honeymooners heading for a hotel in Siem Reap with more luggage than they admit, parents travelling with small children, friends sharing a Sprinter, colleagues on a work trip who need an invoice, and grandparents who would rather be met than find their own way. Because the price is per vehicle, the more of you there are the better it compares with taxis and tickets.
Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Pub Street, an onward transfer or the return to Siem Reap Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.
How to book your Pub Street transfer
To book the Pub Street transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Pub Street - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Siem Reap Airport
Allow about an hour from the airport and send your flight number and hotel name so the driver waits in arrivals; buy the Angkor pass at the ticket centre, cover shoulders and knees at the temples, and ask your hotel to write the address in Khmer for any tuk-tuk ride.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Siem Reap Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.
Pub Street to Siem Reap Airport: the return transfer
Heading back to Siem Reap Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Pub Street; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.
On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Pub Street based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Siem Reap Airport, that is arranged in the same message.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Pub Street transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Pub Street transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.

With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Pub Street.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street?
The new airport is about 50 km from town and there is no train or metro; airport minibuses, taxis and ride-hailing cars run to the centre, but they add up on the long drive, so a private car is simpler for a family, a late arrival, a temple-side resort or a long onward drive to Phnom Penh or Battambang. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Siem Reap Airport is delayed?
The driver waits. Your Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street booking is tied to your flight number, and our desk watches the real landing time, so a late arrival simply moves the pickup. Normal waiting after landing is included in the fixed price.

Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Yours alone. No other passengers, no pickup of strangers on the way, no waiting for a shuttle to fill - the Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer is one vehicle for your group at one fixed price.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and the normal waiting time after your flight lands. There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.

Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the Siem Reap Airport to Pub Street transfer?
