New: Budget flights from Pattaya to Siem Reap – Cambodia
From October 10 it is possible to fly from Pattaya (U-Tapao) to Siem Raep in Cambodia.
Pattaya
There are already five daily flights (Bangkok Airways) from Bangkok to Siem Reap. However, from October 10 it is also possible to fly to Siem Rap from U-Tapao airport, near Pattaya. The flights are operated by Air Hanuman, a Cambodian budget airline.
Round-trip flight for $99
Air Hanuman has an introductory offer for $99 (round trip). The airline also has an office in Pattaya at 500/19 Soi Naklua 18, Pattaya Naklua Road. Phone: +66 38 370 568
Siem Reap for visa run
Siem Reap is a major tourist destination in neighboring Cambodia. Many tourists find their way to visit the famous Angkor Wat temple. A trip to Cambodia is also popular with expats who need to extend a visa, the so-called visa run.
U-Tapao International Airport
U-Tapao International Airport is a small airport south of Pattaya on Highway 3 (Thanon – Sukhumvit) close to Sattahip. You can go to U-Tapao International Airport by bus or taxi. The travel time is about 45 minutes.

Is there anything known about the visa needed to fly to Siem Raep with Air Hanuman? Is that available in Pattaya or at that airport U Tapao?
You can buy a visa for Cambodia on the spot at the Cambodian airport. Make sure you have $20 cash with you, as well as a passport photo.
Upon arrival in Cambodia (Pnom Penh) it turned out that I needed 2 passport photos for the visa – and I had no passport photos with me at all. No problem – for 5 dollars extra I got the visa………….
In addition to costs. Don't forget the 25 US Dollar departure tax. To be paid upon departure airport in Cambodia.
Departure tax? I didn't have to pay in June when I flew from Phnom Penh to Bangkok.
Dear Harold, just google departure tax Cambodia. I have had to pay it every year when I had to leave Thailand.
Dear math, I just looked it up on Google and on certain sites there is indeed a mention of a $ 25 departure tax. However, during my departure from Phnom Penh Airport to Bangkok, I did not have to pay that.
It is quite easy to apply for a visa via the internet, see the e-mail address below:
http://www.mfaic.gov.kh/evisa/?lang=Ned
It can be paid by credit card and it takes about 3 working days.
Print it out twice, one for the outward journey and one for the return journey.
Have done this several times and it works great.
Pattaya airport is located near Satahip. That's at the very south-west point of eastern Thailand, so actually not very close to Pataya, more near Rayon (which isn't really a place for expats to stay, nor - as far as I know - a tourist attraction) .
Traveling from Pattaya to Satahip by public transport, and even to the airport there, if you don't want to get totally desperate, then you shouldn't try that. It is much easier and less uncertain (not at all uncertain even) to travel by bus from Pattaya to the new large airport. You can even depart from two bus stations, one in Pattaya North, one on the well-known road from Pattaya to Jomtien (they are two different buses). There is no bus station in or near Pattaya from which you can travel to that airport in the southwest eastern corner. You just have to see at the Sukumuvit that you are on the right bus (which will take you to Sattahip, by the way, but not to that airport there). No one has a timetable for that bus and no one knows about it. In summary: stumbling.
There is also said to be an airport north of Pattaya, only about 25 kilometers from Pattaya. It seems to me that in Thailand it is asking the gods to park a car near (especially) a small airport and to travel by public (bus) transport to and from a small airport, I see wherever you come from (and ultimately have to go back again) the mood is already hanging: that will also be a bit of a downer. For the time being, Bangkok's new - now 6 years old - airport is more accessible (although accessibility from elsewhere than Pataya can also be improved) so that, coming from Koh Chang, I would like to visit the small airports near and not so near. will literally ignore Pattaya (and only expensive airlines land at Trat airport).
Where you can go via a small airport, you can also go from a large airport (although sometimes - now that the new airport turned out to be too small - only from the old large airport); you build something new and then not only are you largely dependent on the old, but you also run the risk of having to go from 'new' to 'old' or vice versa. Not very comfortable. Moreover: there are no buses from the old airport that go anywhere other than the new airport, or there are buses to places where it is better to go by plane (or by train). From the old airport to Pattaya, for example, you will first have to take the bus to the new airport and from there to Pattaya (for Koh Chang, for example: a similar suit). The new airport should become a really large and grandly designed airport as soon as possible and the only central national and international transport hub in Thailand.
Dear Willem
Willem Willem Still
Your response reads like the back of an insurance policy.
Negative emotionless reading material and to a few minutes
reading you throw it in the drawer. Nevertheless, I took the trouble to read your comment 3 times over. But always come to the same conclusion. That's probably it for me
easier to get to the Moon than to Satahip.
If I understand you correctly. I'm not that highly educated so I could be wrong of course. Which I don't understand because I've been there many times and never had any problems getting there. To be honest, I have to say that I do have a very good Tom Tom. :)
You have all kinds of commenters on the THB sometimes like it sometimes don't like it you agree or not that doesn't matter. But I always like it.
But I really don't know what to think of your comments Willem.
Let's laugh at you. Drink a bottle of whiskey before you react
places. Stay neat, of course, the Moderator is lurking :)
Sincerely, Kees

Is that Cambodian airline also on the list of safe airlines?
@ Rhino,
that's a really good question here!
According to my information, Tonle Sap Airlines will operate those flights, in charter, with a Boeing 737-300
That 300 was delivered new to TAP 24 years ago and has since had about 4 other owners. (which says nothing at all because if the maintenance has been good, an "oldie" is also completely safe, but that says nothing about the pilot training, etc.)
Furthermore, nothing is known about Air Hanuman.
Personally, I wouldn't take the “risk” and just fly to Siem Reap with Bangkok Air.
Bangkok Air is one of the safe airlines that has passed all audits (carried out by Germans) with flying colors!
hello is there still flying from pattaya to siem reap with hanuman air?h
has experience with this, because through their website I can't get any further.
it would be for sometime in Feb.
at what fare is the flight?
thanks paul
