Flights from Sihanoukville

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us.

Well there are couple plans for waterpark, one or two plans for amusement parks. There are plans for big grocery store (Makro), couple smaller malls will be completed within next 12 months and those brings international and cambodian chains, there is rumour of a bigger mall. Those are pretty important for families for example. There is plan for high end marina with promenade and high class restaurants. There are multiple real 4-5 star hotels coming up. All those are very important if you want "samsonite" tourists and families and not just cheap charlies who drinks 50 cents beers in girly bars and backpackers.

And of course airport upgrade with more flights coming in from different destinations every month.
So where are Khmer families going to go for their seaside holidays now that SNK is beyond many of their budgets?
They can jolly well fuck off.

Are there any direct flights between Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh yet ? (Without a stopover in Siem Reap.)
And if there is, and it takes 1 hour from PP downtown to the airport, 1 hour wait before boarding, 1 hour flight, and then (almost) 1 hour from SHV airport to town, is it even worth taking the plane instead of a taxi ?

It's barely an hour to Bangkok. It was about 45 min from HCM and we went round in circles about five times. Taxi will get you down town in about 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
