✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Sihanouk International Airport (KOS/VDSV) is Cambodia's third-largest international gateway, serving the coastal city of Sihanoukville and nearby islands from a site about 20 km east of downtown. Originally opened in the 1960s and later modernized, it has a compact single terminal handling domestic and seasonal international flights. It is a common arrival point for Koh Rong, Koh Rong Sanloem, and Ream National Park.
💡 Local Tip
Check which ferry pier your island boat uses before leaving the airport; Sihanoukville has multiple piers that can be 30+ minutes apart. A direct airport transfer to the correct pier avoids a costly detour through town.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and ride-hailing apps such as Grab or PassApp are the most reliable options; expect about 30-45 minutes to Sihanoukville. Some hotels offer paid airport shuttles, and shared vans may be available for ferry piers to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. Confirm the fare and pier destination in advance, especially for late-night arrivals.
