Thank you for watching! Things are moving along nicely with the new airport and the distance from town isn't going to be an issue. Let's be positive about the opportunities it may bring to Cambodia in future.
thank you for this video. We were just in Siem Reap in March. Good to know about the new airport for my next trip. Great tour and transportation info.
Very cool experience again. The jeep feels like the bigger version of a tuk tuk..,
Thanks so much for your support. The Jeeps were so much fun!
That’s a nice airport, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! 👍
Very helpful video, thanks! Definitely useful for those of use who are looking forward to visiting SR. Maybe in the near future?
Glad it was helpful!😇
Very informative guys, its good to know what to expect next time I travel :)
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for helping us to ease our anxiety going into a new airport. Great reporting.
It's not perfect but it will get better like a fine wine.
Thanks, Claire & Jeremy
Have fun! 😇
👍👍👍 Awesome video!
Thank you! 👍
Very entertaining, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I loved the old Airport, it was so convenient and close to the city.
Yes I loved the old airport the new one sure has all the signs of very rushed poor construction especially the outside as it rained and there were leaks and drips plus major water ponding everywhere due to bad construction etc .. it still has loads more to be completed around the terminal areas etc
Unfortunately it was too small for larger planes and the no room to extend the runway.
It is too close to Angkor and will cause damage to the foundation of Angkor Wat and other temples.
it might be a better choice for you, staying at home
@@donbrashsux water ponding everywhere? Is that your imagination?
All systems go 👌 Thanks C & J
Cheers, mate! 🇰🇭🙏🎉🎯
Thanks a lot for sharing. It brings a lot of clarity to those flying very soon from the new airport. Great video, a great display of the info. Congratulations.
Glad it was helpful! 😇
Hi. I loved the old airport and the easy access. But things change and we have to live with it. I check out for myself in the beginning of january. Take care!
Totally agree! Have a fun time 😇
Thank you for this Video
No worries! 😇
Looks like a decent airport. 👍
It's nice and new 😌
Nice watch ⌚check 😆! Great video guys! 👍👍
Thanks 🤗
Good work guys
Thank you for watching! We appreciate it.
❤ 4 more days and I have my friend to pick me up in his tuk tuk. Now that we are getting closer to winter mode😮😮, I long for the nice temperatures😉 all day round.
It's definitely getting a little cooler 😎
Rain is slowing down and everything is green.
CNN calls, it wants the reporters back 😊
We are at rhe FCC relaxing now 😎
Thanks for following up from previous vid… no cavity search today… Jeremy doesn’t look as happy without one…
He wasn't actually or pretend travelling so they said he needed a ticket for that to happen 🤣
You very much transmit your love for Siem Reap 😘
Thank you so much 😀
Very informative, thank you.
Very welcome 😀
I just retired and is planning to take my younger son to visit Cambodia sometime in June next year. I also consider moving and live in Cambodia if situation is favorable. @@ForRiel
Slick move in and out of the camera shot Claire.
Sliding for real. Usually, I make Jeremy do that!
Beautiful new roads and airport! With these shuttle / ride options, the country seems to be improving / advancing by the day 👍👍😊❤ Can't wait to be back 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you are right. Cambodia 🇰🇭 is climbing out of the poverty it was in after the horror it was subjected to.
Shuttle? There are 4 buses, this is a joke
very nice airport👍
It's great and the new road is amazing!
Tuesday 17th October arrive at airport from Saigon tried the shuttle bus at to wait one hour 10 minutes before it left then another 50 minute journey
won't use that service again.All so no seats to sit on while waiting for bus.
50 minutes is a good for a bus. Yes there needs to be some improvements made.
@@ForRiel yes 50 minutes is enough its the time waiting for shuttle bus is the problem
I tried it in the future i will use taxi.
សូមអរគុណ❤
You are welcome 😊
I'm envious! If I was there I would of done the same thing and just show up to be part of the "history" of the first flights coming into the new airport. I love how Jeremy just found a way to bypass "security" and make his way in. I really appreciate you going through the options for transportation as I will be there the first week in December. I usually have a friend pick me up but because of the distance and cost I will probably just go to the hotel by myself. With the old airport, many hotels offered free airport pickup, but now I wonder if a lot of the more budget friendly hotels won't offer that anymore. I suppose as time goes on, the kinks will be worked out and the transportation options will expand. Great video as always!
Thanks 😊
Yes it's a learning curve but I think they will get a good balance.
The airport looks nice as you approach. Like the green and red lights on the escalator, just in case. Mini van was a good deal. I like the electric car option, quite cheap for 4 people. P.S. I don't think Jeremy can skulk. Cheers
Yeah I haven't seen that before either. Jeremy is not really built for skulking....
In the future, a light rail will be built to connect the airport and the city, which can be reached in 30 minutes, making it convenient for passengers from the airport to the city.
That may take a couple of years to complete.
Yes so what? If they dont have a light rail, then there should be a bus every 30min and not like 4 a day. Only villages are connected with 4 buses a day, this is an international airport. What a disgrace. No organizational skills whatsoever of that government.
This is so lovely to see my homeland building back to such a beauty place. I can’t wait to visit one day. To be able to experience Cambodia for the first time. Left there since 1984 during the genocide. I barely remember a lot aside of the sound of the bombs and my parents carrying me. I was born in Thailand at the refugee camp. This makes me smile to see how beautiful the sky and airport looks!
That's a very sad story 😢. Hopefully you can come back soon.
@@ForRiel I pray one day I am able to return. 🤍
All set ready for the Siem Reap new international airport… still not as brave as Jeremy for the cavity search
He said they were very respectful, but the selfies after was strange.
Very nice video Claire and Jeremy. It's a nice looking airport. Will give a good 1st impression for tourists arriving for their visit. Imo.
Thank you! We agree, there are a lot of positive things about it.
More investigative reporting for the jeepo news…
We are relentless and then we take a nap 😴
Travelers tip = if you can’t get in one way try another
And look like you belong
With Jeeps bad reliability record (in the states anyways) you’d need a fleet of them to keep the business running 🤣
New airport looks airy and full of natural light, very cool.
They are very well maintained and fun to ride around in 🤩
They look like Mahindra jeep styled ATV’s are they actual Jeeps?
Love your videos, always keep me up to date of what's going on in the kingdom. Also do you know what's happened to the old airport? still operating?
It is closed now. No official news on what's happening to it.
Wait a minute... You got me all wound up about this new airport and now that it's open I'm wondering why I'd want to go anywhere else.
I think eventually it's going to be great for Siem Reap and Cambodia.
The old airport is less than 10 minutes away from where I live in Siem Reap. It’s probably going to be almost 90 minutes for us to get to the new airport even with a door to door pickup. Plus, you miss out on your first Tuk Tuk ride into the city.
🖤🖤
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Hi Clare I’ve been trying to find your video on the Temple inside Siem Reap city . Can you remember what is was called I’m in Siem Reap now and would love to check it out.
Thanks for the great videos guys
Rockhampton says g’day
Hi Gary, was it an ancient temple or a modern one?
@@ForRiel it was ancient and it was in town. I keep thinking you said something about conservation place
Ah, in that case, it's this one. It's just across the river from Angkor Conservation. maps.app.goo.gl/fVtXSjZhZqG7XraL9
Here is the video: czcams.com/video/_SFeM-hFPUo/video.htmlsi=U4klhQ_7M7fOWygB
@@ForRiel thank you both fantastic videos 🙏
Jeremy works on the same basis as I do. It’s easier to ask forgiveness than to obtain permission, therefore just get in.
You know him too well 🤣
@@ForRiel 🤣🤣
How exciting! Is the Visa process still simple? ❤
Yep, exactly the same as before. Hope you are enjoying our trip 😊
Hello Claire and Jeremy. Thank you for your great videos as always, with the very helpful information.
I’m curious Claire…about the Garmin GPS watches that you and Jeremy use. Can I please ask, which model Garmin are they? How is the battery life?
Many thanks…. Take care. 🌴 🌴 🌴 ✈️ 😃 🙏🏼 ☸️
Hi Robert, I've got a Garmin Instinct. I got it just before the solar version came out. The battery life is excellent, even in GPS mode.
I've subscribed! Hope they increase, such good clear cut to the chase content!
Thanks for the sub! 🤠😁
Liked those jeeps. Had to be fun ? -- I'd really like to buy a Bajaj RE 3 wheel Tuk Tuk and drive it over there ! Do any or many expats own them there ? Some expats in the Philippines have a club and they travel the islands some. Overnight trips sometimes on ferries between islands.....Very curious if any are private owned in Siem Reap just for personal transportation ? That's what I'd like for hauling things & groceries instead of a scooter. Also for when it rains ?
We were actually looked at one for sale today $1600
We just booked a flight up from PP...... Our first time at new airport!
Keep up the good work guys! Always informative and fun ❤❤
Cheers Derek! Hope you enjoy the new airport 😁
Thanks for the video , good info !
Glad it was helpful! 😇
Just wondering if we could use the Grab or Pass App to get tuk tuk outside the new airport gate to get to town! Great updates as always from For Riel.
You can't get a Grab or Passapp from the airport. But in saying that I think in time it will change. Going out to the airport seems like anyone can do it.
Wonderful coverage as always. It's good to know so many transport options are opening up! Would you suggest making use of the currency exchange booth at the airport, or go to ABA in town? Thanks!
Will you be bringing USD? If so, you can open an ABA account as soon as you have a rental agreement and deposit it as USD into there. Then you can withdraw in Riel as you go, or transfer USD via ABA for the bigger stuff.
@@ForRiel I was thinking of bringing about $600 USD to take care of the rent, deposit, and other initial expenses but want to do as much in Riel as possible. I'm certainly planning on getting an ABA account as soon as possible, but was hoping to pay those initial expenses in Riel if I can.
Which of those networks would you recommend?
We have always used Cellcard and have been very happy with them.
@@ForRiel thank you ❤️
Hey guys, those jeeps, what is the rental cost, roughly ?
All the information you can find on our website: www.cambodiajeep.com
CambodiaJeep[dot]com left a comment but it's disappeared. Check out their website - link in the description of this video. CZcams sometimes removes comments that include links, so that could be what happened.
@@ForRiel thanks for that ! Have a good one .
Great video. We are travelling soon and this is really interesting and useful. Can’t wait
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate you watching.
Awesome info!
Thank you!
Nice reporting, guys. Based on the early reports of 60 km trips, I was already to forgo any future SR trips. But the generous transit options into town have changed my mind. What was the run time from SR to the airport, or vice-versa? It was pretty hard to beat 20 min runs from the old airport.
Our pleasure! 45 mins to a hour but a really nice drive. Not boring highway.
Other countries have proximity airport issues too. Mexico has a few with up to 2 hours travel and few options. -- My hope is it discourages some travelers as it does in some Mexican cities - keeping the rent prices low in the future.
Is it not possible to ride a tuktuk from and to the airport? And if it is, is it more expensive than using the airports transportation system? You didnt mention that so i was just wondering for when i go there in the near future.
Technical you can get a Tuktuk but as you have to go on the major highway it's safer to take a car.
❤❤❤❤
😊🥰🥰😋
Lovely airport. Wondering what the plans are for the old one. 👍🏼 ✈️ 🌴 🌴 🌴 ☸️
It's really nice. Not sure what will happen to the old one. Military airport maybe?
One of the senior ministers had asked to transform it into an international conference/theatre hall. I'm not sure if that was approved yet.
@@kcpopoo it's a nice building - that would be a good way to use it.
@@ForRiel Yes. It's got a big opened space, great parking and is in a great location. Not sure what they'll do with the runway though.
Do you seriously think they will stop using the country's capital citys main international airport? !!! Jezussss. LOL
🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
😆🤣😂💚💛
2:10 very informative video! I would like to know if these private taxi services are legit and safe? Do you have their official websites? Thank you!
Feel sorry for the tuktuk drivers, this has decimated their business pitch of taking tourists round the temples.
😂😂 not the worst thing tbh.
But if the airport brings more tourists it could be better in the long run.
I really hope it works out@@ForRiel
I thought new Siem Reap airport gonna have two or more runways!
I think they do...
Thanks for the great video...Do you know if we need to pre book the airport transport or if we can just turn up on the day please. Love all the info you generate..really helpful for us first timers to SR.
It's better to pre book your pickup $25 wtih Go Green taxis, the airport taxis are more expensive. The bus is $8 but you may have to wait a hour or so before it leaves. We don't recommend tuktuks as its really far out and on a highway for a short period.
35$ for a car? The tuktuk from the old airport used to cost 6$, and take something like 20-30 minutes to get to the city centre.
Yes, those days are gone, so we might as well get on board with the new airport.
May I know between Taxi 4 you and Go green which one is the better option? Are they reliable?
I am not sure that Go Green is still operating. Taxi 4U is good.
Where is the visa on arrival desk?
Down the escalator and on the right hand side.
Question so there are no tuk tuk allowed there??
They're not allowed inside the car park, but can drop you at the gate. Parking fees for the car park have also just been instated.
so any arrivals after 8pm taxi is only option ??
I am not sure. I think the vans will still run.
Taxi for you is wanting to charge me 25+3 =28 usd from airport to SM tomorrow
If you want a private car and not a bus, that's the going rate. If you are arriving for a long-term stay, I'd just pay it and move on.
🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭✍️✍️🙏🙏🙏
😇🥰😍🤩😘
how many minutes does the journey take?
45 mins to a hour.
4 buses for an airport that far away?
My flight arrives at 9pm, so thanks Cambodia, letting me be stuck. What tourist city lets its tourists be stuck?????
What a disgrace
This was a while ago when the airport first opened. There are more services available now.
What,s CDF mean. Thanks in advance.
It's just the name of a duty-free shop. It is central and has a decent sized car park. I guess that's why they're using it as the bus meeting point.
$8 for 6 km!!! What a rip off! It's only about $12 to get a bus to Phnom Pehn from Siem Reap!
It's 43 km to the new airport.
It's 43.5km to the new airport, so $8 is quite reasonable.
😂😂 you surely earn enough to cover the 8 bucks ?
