Meet the group at Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort in Siem Reap
Start of Trip: 2:00 p.m. hotel check-in, 7:00 p.m. orientation in Siem Reap.
Getting to the site: Participants who purchased Road Scholar airfare and arrive on the program start date in Cambodia will be provided with an arrival transfer from Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI) to the first program hotel.
Participants who have not purchased Road Scholar airfare, or who are arriving on a different day, are responsible for making their own transfer arrangements and for covering the costs involved.
Hotel check-in is available from 3:00 p.m on the in-country program start date (Day 3). If you arrive a few hours earlier, the hotel can store your luggage at the front desk until check-in time. If you wish to check-in upon arrival in the morning, or if you arrive a day or more before the program starts, we suggest booking additional pre-program nights in advance with Road Scholar Travel Services, through the hotel directly or via a third-party website.
Getting to the site by train or bus: Participants can reach the site from the airport via taxi.

A taxi from Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) to the program hotel costs approximately THB 250 (subject to change) (about 9 USD – be prepared to pay in Thai Bhat). If traveling late at night, the taxi cost might be higher. You can also get a Grab Taxi (similar to Uber in the US) but not recommended at night. To use, download the Grabtaxi app.
Hotel check-out is at 12:00 noon on the last program date of your itinerary (Day 18). If you depart a few hours later, the hotel can store your luggage at the front desk until you head to the airport. If you wish to arrange a late check-out or a post-program night, we suggest booking it in advance with the hotel directly or through a third-party website
