Any word on when the land border with Cambodia may open?   I'd like to visit Angkor Wat but right now the only way to get there that I am aware of is fly from BKK to Phnom Penh and then fly again to Seim Reap.   I would prefer to simply get a car and cross the land border, but as far as I can tell it's still closed.

Any advice or insight?  Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the reopening of the land border between Thailand and Cambodia, specifically to visit Angkor Wat. Currently, the only known access is via flights from Bangkok to Phnom Penh and then to Siem Reap. A comment provides an alternative by suggesting direct flights from Bangkok to Siem Reap with Thai Smile Airlines.

I do not believe this route is currently being serviced. There used to be direct flights on several airlines but they are mostly discontinued because of Covid.

Looking at the Thai Smile website they do not show any flights direct between the two.

there are apparently travel restrictions inside cambodia as well. My plan B was fly BKK to Phnom Penh and then take a car or bus to Angkor, but I'm having trouble finding accurate information about internal travel issues.

they should fly twice a week. Service resumed on March 3. Maybe they pulled them again due to lack of travellers. But they definitely restarted them post-covid last month

What is the current situation for traveling from Bangkok to Savannakhet solo, and are there specific things to know about the border crossing?
