Phnom Penh to Angkor Wat
The road distance is about 320 kilometers via National Road 6. A morning flight into Siem Reap–Angkor Airport still needs a tuk-tuk onward, because Angkor Wat is outside the city. Buy the Angkor Pass at the ticket office or in the Angkor Pass app before you reach the west gate. Buses arrive at Siem Reap terminals, not at the temple.
