Before you go

What we tell every friend before their first day at the temples. Prices change, so ask us at the counter if you are unsure.

The Angkor pass

  • 1 day $37 · 3 days $62 (any 3 days in 10) · 7 days $72 (any 7 days in a month).
  • Buy it at the official ticket office on Road 60, or online from Angkor Enterprise. Your photo goes on the pass and it is checked at every temple.
  • The ticket office is open from about 5:00 am to 5:30 pm. A pass bought late in the afternoon (from about 4:45 pm) is for the next day, and still lets you in for that evening's sunset.
  • Children under 12 go in free: bring their passport.
  • The Angkor pass covers the main park (Wat, Thom, Ta Prohm, grand circuit). Phnom Kulen and the Angkor National Museum need their own tickets — say so on each place card.

What to wear

  • Shoulders and knees covered, for everyone. It is a place of worship.
  • A scarf over bare shoulders is not accepted at the top level of Angkor Wat.
  • Do not touch or sit on the carvings, and ask before taking a photo of a monk.

Tuk-tuk prices

  • Small circuit (Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom / Bayon, Ta Prohm): about $15–20 for the day.
  • Grand circuit (Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Ta Som, Pre Rup): about $20–25.
  • A sunrise start is about $5 more. Banteay Srei is about $10 more.
  • Agree the price and the places before you set off. Your driver waits for you at each temple.

What to carry

  • Your pass, and a little cash in small notes (dollars or riel).
  • Water, more than you think. A hat and sunscreen.
  • A torch or your phone light for the walk in before sunrise.
  • A light rain jacket from June to October.
  • Something from us for the road.
