Flights from Bangkok to Phnom Penh

Between Bangkok and Phnom Penh, flying is the only option right now: every Thailand–Cambodia land crossing has been closed since July 2025. The flight takes about 1h 20m nonstop, with several departures a day from Suvarnabhumi and one daily from Don Mueang.

Bangkok to Phnom Penh: Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang or overland?

From Techo Airport to central Phnom Penh

Techo replaced the old airport, which was in town. It's farther out: factor the transfer into your arrival plans.

Express bus

1,500 riel

The Phnom Penh city bus line, 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., makes 4 stops as far as the train station. Cash, riel only; 1 to 2 hours depending on traffic.

Taxi or ride-hailing

$10 to $20

Desks in the arrivals hall, or Grab, PassApp and WowNow. The fare depends on the neighborhood. Allow 45 minutes to 1.5 hours for about 20 km.

Pre-booked taxi

from about $15

On 12Go, a private sedan can be booked ahead from about $15, an SUV for around $40. Handy for a night arrival or with family.

Once in Phnom Penh, the Mekong

Phnom Penh sits where the Mekong meets the Tonle Sap: a good start to head up to Kratie or down to the delta.

Bangkok to Phnom Penh flights: FAQ

How long is the flight from Bangkok to Phnom Penh?
1h 15m to 1h 25m nonstop: about 1h 20m from Suvarnabhumi, 1h 15m from Don Mueang. Allow a few minutes more on the way back.
Can you connect from a long-haul flight?
Yes. Thai Airways flies both into Bangkok and on to Phnom Penh, so a single ticket is possible. On separate tickets, leave at least 3 hours, and check the airport: Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang are separate.
Is the Cambodia e-Visa accepted at Techo Airport?
Yes. The tourist e-Visa costs $30 and is accepted at Techo Airport; a visa on arrival is also available there, paid in US dollars. Fill in the free e-Arrival card within 7 days before you land.
Why is the land border closed?
After the July 2025 clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, every crossing was closed to travelers. They remain closed in October 2026, and travel advisories still warn against the border area.
