I flew to/within Cambodia last summer.
Flew Bangkok Airways (ATR 42), a very reputable airline, on BKK-REP. I think they are receiving new B 717 these days. Very nice flight. One japanese flight attendant, and inflight announcements made in thai, english and japanese.

Then flew Angkor (Siem Reap)- PNH on Royal Air Cambodge, which is owned by Malaysian. This was a very old and tired 737-200, flown by a French pilot. My theory is that he had been kicked out from AF for smoking too much ganja.
I did not care for this flight or this aircraft, and was happy we landed.

Then flew PNH-BKK on TG, upgraded to C for $ 40. Even got my miles credited on my MP account.

PNH airport is a great place. Lots of soviet made aircraft, and expensive French wine at the gift shop.

Safety is not an issue in Angkor, yes there were mines and probably still are but if you stay on well-marked paths, you are fine.
I would be more concerned about walking at night in PNH. Then again, the same is true in LA. But I highly recommend the city, its art deco market, the riverfront, the royal palace, the Foreign Correspondents Club, the Museum.
Go say hi to Gayle at the Hotel Royal, she sure showed us around
