Driving directions:

Phnom Penh Techo International Airport is roughly 25 km south of Phnom Penh's city centre and is directly accessible via major roadways. Motorists heading to the airport from the capital typically follow Hun Sen Boulevard out of central Phnom Penh, then continue along the Morodok Techo Flyover Bridge and surrounding expressway links toward the southern outskirts of the city. From there, the route feeds onto dedicated access roads that lead into the airport precinct. The journey by car or taxi normally takes about 40–60 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day.

Transfer between terminals:

All flights depart and arrive at the same terminal (albeit at different levels and sections); therefore, transferring passengers can walk from one side to the other.

Public Transport

Public transport road:

Bus: The Airport Express Bus links Phnom Penh Techo International Airport with central Phnom Penh. The service runs daily from about 05:30 to 23:30, with buses travelling between the airport and key stops in the city, such as Canadia Garden (near the railway station), Royal University of Law and Economics, BRED Bank on Samdech Techo Hun Sen Blvd, and AEON Mall Meanchey. Tickets are very affordable, around 1,500 riel one-way, and can be purchased directly from the driver or at stops.

Tuk‑tuk/ motorcycle taxi: Motorcycle‑powered tuk‑tuks and moto taxis are readily available outside the arrivals area. Fares are often negotiable before departure, and drivers can take you directly to your hotel in Phnom Penh or other destinations. Prices vary by distance and luggage. Pre‑trip fare estimates from drivers or ride‑hailing apps help avoid confusion.

Taxi: Licensed taxis operate at Techo International Airport and provide a straightforward option to Phnom Penh and the surrounding areas. Drivers typically use fixed or metered fares, and you can book directly at the airport or through a hotel concierge/transfer desk.

Ride‑hailing/ car‑sharing: App-based services (Grab, WowNow, and PassApp) operate in Phnom Penh and can pick up passengers from designated points just outside the terminal. After booking in the app, follow the in‑app directions to the ride‑hailing pick‑up area near the arrivals exit. These services offer car, SUV, tuk‑tuk and motorbike options, usually at competitive rates.
