From MCO airport to Siem Reap
Reaching Orlando International
Mears Connect (former Sunshine Flyer) shuttle: $16–$22 per person round-trip, 45–60 min to downtown/hotel depending on stops. Not ideal if you're solo. Uber/Lyft from downtown: $28–$42 depending on surge pricing, 25–30 min off-peak, 40+ min during arrival waves. Rent a car if staying 4+ days and venturing beyond theme parks; airport rental car rates run $45–$65/day and you'll save on ride-shares. Parking at MCO: $12/day for economy (far lot, 10-min tram), $25/day for valet, $18/day for preferred (closer to terminal). Book parking online 24 hours ahead—saves $3–$5.
Getting from REP into Siem Reap
New Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI) is ~40km from town. Official taxis cost $20–25 and take 45–55 minutes — book through the airport taxi booth, not random drivers approaching you. Tuk-tuks are not officially permitted at SAI but ride-hailing apps (PassApp, Grab) will pick you up at Departures level for about $15–18. Some guesthouses offer free or cheap pickup if you email ahead — worth asking. If you're still using the old REP airport (3km from town), a tuk-tuk costs $3–5 and takes 10 minutes; a taxi is $7–10.
Planning Orlando to Siem Reap
Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor Wat, one of the most staggering archaeological complexes on Earth — a 400-square-kilometer jungle kingdom built between the 9th and 15th centuries that makes Rome feel like a minor footnote. The scale is genuinely hard to process until you're standing there: Angkor Wat alone is the world's largest religious monument, and you'd need at least three days just to scratch the surface of the broader complex. Most Americans significantly underestimate how much there is to see, and leave wishing they'd booked another day. Get a three-day temple pass ($62) at minimum — the one-day option is for people who will regret it forever.
Local basics
Best-month weather in Siem Reap
November
68–88°F · 8 rain daysOne of the best months to visit — wet season ends, temperatures cool down, and the landscape is still lush and green from the rains. Bon Om Touk Water Festival draws huge Cambodian crowds.
December
65–87°F · 3 rain daysPeak tourist season kicks in with excellent dry weather and cool nights — bring a light layer for evenings. Christmas/New Year week is the most crowded and expensive period of the year.
The destination guide flags September and August and April as the least favorable months.
Two areas to consider
Pub Street / Old Market Area
budgetGround zero for backpackers and budget travelers — Pub Street itself is rowdy and fun with $1 beers and $3 pad thai, but wander one block off and you'll find excellent local restaurants. Old Market (Psar Chas) is the best place to buy silk scarves, knockoff temple souvenirs, and cheap street snacks. Best area to stay if you want to walk everywhere and meet other travelers.
Wat Bo Village
mid-rangeThe residential neighborhood east of the river is where expats and repeat visitors stay — quieter than Pub Street, filled with boutique guesthouses ($40–80/night) and genuinely good independent restaurants. Cuisine Wat Damnak is here, as is the beloved Sugar Palm restaurant for classic Khmer cooking. Walkable to both Pub Street and the night market in 10–15 minutes.
Local planning tip
Skip Angkor Wat at sunrise on your first morning — every tour group in Cambodia is there for the reflection shot and the crowd destroys the experience. Instead, go to Pre Rup temple at sunset on your first evening (it's included on your pass, and you can climb to the top tower for panoramic views over the jungle with almost no one else around), then hit Angkor Wat at 7:30am the next day once the sunrise crowd has cleared. For the actual sunrise experience, Angkor Thom's South Gate or Phnom Bakheng hill give you a temple-at-dawn moment with a fraction of the Angkor Wat mob. Also: hire a knowledgeable local guide for your first full day ($25–35 through your guesthouse or the Licensed Tour Guides of Cambodia association) rather than exploring independently — the iconography and history are so dense that most of Angkor is just 'old stone walls' without context.
Visa and entry notes for US travelers
US passport holders get a visa on arrival or e-visa for Cambodia — both cost exactly $30 USD and are valid for 30 days single entry. The e-visa (evisa.gov.kh) is strongly recommended: pay online before departure, print the approval, and skip the visa-on-arrival queue at the airport which can take 45–90 minutes during peak arrivals. You'll need one passport photo for visa on arrival so carry one just in case. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. Extensions are easy to get in Siem Reap ($45 for an additional 30 days) through any travel agent on Pub Street. There's no tourist tax or departure tax added at the airport beyond what's usually included in your airfare.
