The easiest way to get to Angkor Wat from Bangkok is to fly. The flight takes about one hour and Siem Reap airport is only a 20 minute drive from the town. Ceck out Bangkok Airways, for cost of flights from Bangkok to Siem Reap.Flying directly is fairly expensive though for the short one hour flight (currently close to US $150.00) The hard way Angkor Wat from Bangkok is by Trains, Boats, Buses, and Taxis. Trains - the train will take you from Hualompong Station in Bangkok to the Thai-Cambodia Border at Aranyapratet. Unfortunately the old rail line across the border and into Cambodia no longer exists. Boats - once you get to Phnom Phen, Battambang or Sianoukville you can elect to take a boat the rest of the way to Siem Reap. Depending on the time of the year and the amount of rainfall this can be a more or less trying experience. Buses - Big luxury tour buses, Thai government public transport buses, tour company mini-vans, and trucks with benches make up this often hair raising assortment of transportation choices. Taxis - Very comfortable taxis and even more comfortable limousines can take you from Bangkok to the Cambodian border in three hours or so for from 2,500 Baht up. Once you are across the border it becomes another story all together. Cambodian taxis traveling from Poipet to Siem Reap tend to be fairly beat up by the rough roads and heavy loads that they carry. Taxis can be shared with up to six passengers and will cost from US $35 to US $80 dollars for the four hour trip.

Take a plane or a bus. Preferably a plane. It takes an hour and costs about $150. Trains around those parts are unreliable. When I was there this summer the train route to Cambodia was closed down. If you are low on cash take a bus.
