Competition on the Bangkok – Siem Reap Route Coming Soon

One of the big frustrations for many travelers planning a trip to Southeast Asia has been the high cost of plane tickets between Bangkok and Siem Reap, the gateway to the Angkor Wat archaeological site. The high price is the result of Bangkok Airway’s monopoly on the route.

Now it looks like Bangkok Airways will have some competition. Cambodia Angkor Airways confirmed this week that it plans to fly the route. No fixed date was given for the new service, although some reports suggest it is dependent on the delivery of additional aircraft later this year.
