Bangkok to Siem Reap - cheap flights?

Bangkok Airways lists a round trip price of about US $300.
Any other airlines fly the same route at a lower rate?
Does any one know of agents in Bangkok who sell cheaper
air tickets?

Thanks in advance.

Bangkok Airways is the only airline to fly this route, they have an
exclusivity. So you probably won't find a lower price.

Not correct, from the URL previously given is the following
"quote"

Currently, the airline sells a Bangkok-Phnom Penh roundtrip to travel agents for a price of 2,600
baht, cheaper than Bangkok Airways which charges over 3,000 baht and Thai Airways International
whose tickets are priced in excess of 5,000 baht on the same route.
President Airlines is particularly hoping to cash in on foreign travellers wanting to visit the
World Heritage site of Angkor Wat located in the Cambodian province of Siem Reap. It's already
offering an unmatched price of 7,000 baht for a Bangkok-Phnom Penh-Siem Reap roundtrip compared to
Bangkok Airways' 11,500 baht for Bangkok-Siem Reap two-way travel.

I wrote them. They don;thave BKK-REP n/s service at least early next
year. Want TNB 8,000 via Phnom penh

You could always go overland for about $10 each way. It takes the
entire day, a little bumpy and dusty but its a good experience. BKK-SR.

Is that by bus or by private AC car ?

Starting from Kho Sarn Road in Bangkok, you will get in a nice
White, AC Van. They drop you off at the Cambodian border (about 4 hours)
and you walk into Cambodia. Here you will sit for a few hours, then you
will get in the back of a small Toyota Pick up truck with a few honkys
and about 13 Cambodians with bags of stuff (its a bit cramped). The
Cambodians will have their heads and faces covered with a hat and a
sheet over it to prevent the sun from making them darker then they
already are.
I Paid the dude a little extra to sit inside the truck (60 Bath if I
remember correctly). Its funny because all the Europeans had the chance
to take it but refused to pay the little extra fee. All the honkys got
sun burned from the long trip but did not seem to mind.
Be sure to do this in the "Dry season". They will arrive at night
and drop you off at a guest house at around 8pm, the first night just
pay the extra $2 a night (should cost you about $5 to $7 a night). The
next night you can hunt for a cheaper place if you insist like The
Europeans often do. Don't be afraid to quietly ask for a discount (with
a smile) on the room with the bathroom. A motor driver should cost you
no more than $5 per day ALL DAY. DON'T spoil them with $10 a day because
this will only make things more difficult for European tourists that
don't have as much money as you.

One BAD thing about fellow American Tourists is their habit of
happily paying WAY too much for rooms and services. This secretly annoys
the **** out of broke ass Europeans slumming Asia for the season.

If you can fit in another leg or two in Thailand, consider the PG
(Bangkok Airways) discover pass. You need to buy a minimum of 3
BEFORE you get to Thailand. Costs USD 80 per segment for BKK-REP
(Siem Reap) and then USD 50 for domestic Thai segments. So if you buy
4 segments including r/t to REP and a r/t somewhere else, it is still
cheaper than BKK-REP-BKK by itself.
