Cambodia Angkor Air

Cambodia Angkor Air, Cambodia's airline, Bangkok - Phnom Penh route

Hello, I'm mr.hotsia. Today, I want to share my travel experience with Cambodia's airline “Cambodia Angkor Air,” the national airline of Cambodia that I have flown several times. The popular route I recommend is the flight from Bangkok (Don Mueang) to Phnom Penh. Ticket prices I found range from about 1,100 to 1,500 baht, which is very good value considering the convenience and time saved compared to taking a bus that takes almost a whole day, or possibly costing more than 1,500 baht when including food and fatigue.

The flight duration is just over one hour. The plane is not as large as AirAsia's, but the seats are slightly wider, offering more comfort. There is also food and beverage service onboard. The cabin crew are Cambodian, which creates a truly local atmosphere that I really like because it feels like starting the Cambodia trip right from the plane.

For those who are still hesitant or want to check the latest prices, I recommend visiting the websitecambodiaangkorair.comSometimes there are interesting promotions. I personally use this airline as one of my main choices when traveling to Cambodia.

Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, with easy and convenient travel

After landing at Phnom Penh International Airport, getting into the city is not very complicated. Phnom Penh city is located by the Mekong River and Tonle Sap River, which are important natural and historical connection points of Cambodia.Phnom Penh CityIt is another destination I have visited many times because it has charm both in lifestyle and tourist attractions, such as the beautiful Royal Palace or the Killing Fields, which are intense historical lessons. There are also fascinating fresh markets and unique Khmer cuisine (which I have written about inKhmer Food Article)

). Regarding travel within and outside the city, Phnom Penh has a bus system and passenger vehicles connecting to various provinces conveniently, especially buying tickets through hotel or accommodation agents that I often use, as it reduces language barriers and bargaining hassles. For example, the bus from Phnom Penh to Takeo province that I have traveled on was very comfortable. You can check information fromBus from Phnom Penh to Takeo Articlethat I wrote.

Why do I like Cambodia Angkor Air?

As I mentioned, I, mr.hotsia, like to try new things and look for value in travel. Choosing the right airline for the route and budget is very important to me. Flying with Cambodia Angkor Air feels different from low-cost airlines I have used before because, besides slightly wider seats, there is food and drink service onboard at no extra charge. Most importantly, the friendliness of the Cambodian staff makes you feel warm from the first step onto the plane.

Personally, I think if you want to travel to Phnom Penh or continue to Siem Reap to see the Angkor Wat temples, flying with Cambodia Angkor Air is a very interesting option because it saves time and helps your trip start well even before you get off the plane.

Tips for booking and planning a trip to Cambodia

Nowadays, I, mr.hotsia, search for flight tickets about 1-2 months in advance to get the best prices and recommend booking directly through the airline's website or trusted agents. For those interested in other routes, such as Bangkok to Vietnam, I recommend VietJet Air, which also offers affordable prices.

Once in Phnom Penh, besides exploring the city, I usually plan to travel to nearby provinces like Takeo, Kampot, or even Oudong, which was once the old capital of Cambodia (you can read about Oudong city atOudong City, Oudong, Phnom Penh), each place offering different lifestyles and atmospheres.

Experience local lifestyle and food in Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is full of fresh markets and street food stalls that I, mr.hotsia, like to visit and try. Phnom Penh fresh markets show the real life of locals clearly, from fragrant roasted duck to fresh fish sold wholesale in the morning. I have recorded these experiences inPhnom Penh Fresh Market 2013andEating Khmer Roasted Duck in Phnom Penhwhich you can follow to see real atmosphere photos.

Khmer food has a distinctive character, with mild flavors not too spicy, and fresh local ingredients such as coconut milk curry, Khmer chili paste, and sticky rice eaten with various dishes. Here, I usually choose to eat at small roadside stalls where the owners are kind and friendly, an experience you cannot get from fancy restaurants.

Summary of traveling with Cambodia Angkor Air

For travelers who want to truly experience Cambodia, I, mr.hotsia, recommend Cambodia's national airline "Cambodia Angkor Air" as a good choice for price, comfort, and friendly atmosphere. Most importantly, it saves travel time, energy, and time for your valuable trip.

Don't forget, if you plan to visit Phnom Penh, I recommend checking travel information and other tourist spots I have written about, such as traveling fromSiem Reap to Phnom Penhor Phnom Penh bus station, which helps you understand the city's transport system well (Phnom Penh Bus Station)

Wishing everyone a fun trip and great experiences from Cambodia. mr.hotsia
