Why Now Is the Best Time to Visit Cambodia: Easier Connections and Smoother Travel
Cambodia is more accessible than ever, thanks to ongoing improvements in infrastructure that are making travel across the country smoother, quicker, and far more enjoyable. With the highly anticipated Techo International Airport (TIA) set to open in mid-2025, alongside recent upgrades to key roads, flyovers, and transport options, exploring Cambodia’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and hidden gems has never been easier.
Seamless Connections, Effortless Journeys
Traveling to Cambodia’s key destinations is often part of the adventure—but now, it’s becoming far less complicated. Tourism experts are optimistic that with better infrastructure, visitors can spend less time navigating traffic and more time enjoying Cambodia’s highlights.
Nataly Wanhoff, General Manager of Focus Asia Cambodia, pointed out that smoother connections are a game-changer, especially for visitors looking to make the most of their time. “We’re seeing Cambodia’s transport infrastructure finally catch up to regional destinations like Thailand and Singapore. A well-planned rail link between TIA and Phnom Penh, for example, will be a huge step forward.”
While Cambodia’s charm has always been in its laid-back pace, travelers can now expect a more seamless journey, from landing at the airport to arriving at top hotels, cultural landmarks, or pristine countryside escapes.

Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and Beyond—Easier Than Ever
With TIA set to handle millions of passengers annually, the capital will soon welcome travelers in a smoother, more modern way. This marks a significant upgrade from years past, when congested roads often tested visitors’ patience. In addition, improved infrastructure in Phnom Penh—like the new Morodok Techo flyover—has already started alleviating bottlenecks.
Steve Lidgey, General Manager at Travel Asia a la Carte, believes these developments are crucial for travelers eager to explore beyond city centers. “Getting around should be quick and easy, so visitors can maximize their time experiencing Cambodia, whether that’s sipping coffee in Kampot, trekking Mondulkiri’s jungles, or watching the sunset at Angkor Wat.”
Why Now Is the Time to Go
Cambodia has always rewarded those willing to venture beyond the obvious. But with better roads and improved connectivity between major hubs, it’s easier than ever to uncover its hidden beauty. Travelers can now comfortably:
- Fly into Phnom Penh’s new TIA and connect seamlessly to Siem Reap’s iconic temples or Sihanoukville’s beaches.
- Explore rural gems like Pursat’s eco-tourism trails or Battambang’s colonial charm without lengthy detours.
- Access off-the-beaten-track locations such as Veal Veng in Pursat or Ratanakiri’s waterfalls, thanks to recent road developments.
Chhay Sivlin, President of the Cambodian Association of Travel Agents (CATA), noted that improvements like clear signage, reliable transport hubs, and updated infrastructure are making a difference. “Now’s the perfect time for travelers to come. They’ll find it’s easier than ever to access Cambodia’s diverse landscapes and rich culture without the previous hurdles.”
