Siem Reap Airport - Hotel: Private Taxi with Local Driver

Summary

Private transfer from Siem Reap Angkor Airport to your hotel

You’ll step off your flight in Siem Reap and spot your local driver waiting with a sign—no crowds or confusion. Enjoy an air-conditioned ride straight to your hotel, with help for your luggage and honest tips from someone who knows every corner of town. It’s an easy start that’ll stick with you long after you unpack.

What’s the experience like?

We’d barely cleared customs at Siem Reap-Angkor International before I spotted my name on a sign—Green Era Travel, just like they said. Our driver, Dara, waved and grinned right away. He didn’t rush us; just waited while we fumbled with our bags and tried to remember where we’d packed the bug spray. The air outside was thick and sweet, a bit of rain still hanging around from earlier, but Dara had the car cooled down already. That first blast of air con felt almost too good.

I’d heard stories about airport arrivals here—taxi drivers crowding the exit, people shouting offers—but honestly, it was quiet. Dara led us past a couple of guys who barely glanced up. “Siem Reap is my home,” he told us as we loaded our stuff into the trunk. “I know every street.” He asked if it was our first time (it was), then pointed out where locals go for noodles near the river. I tried repeating the name—Li laughed when I butchered it—and Dara promised to write it down later.

The drive into town took maybe 45 minutes? Hard to say—I kept watching scooters zip by and catching glimpses of bright temple roofs through the window. Dara handed back cold bottled water without making a big deal about it. No upselling or weird detours; just easy conversation and a few tips about what not to miss in Siem Reap. When we pulled up at our hotel, he wished us a good stay and actually meant it, you know? I still think about that first ride—how simple things can set the tone for a whole trip.
