Bought online, the pass is a QR code in a PDF; travellers report that staff scan it at the major temples.
Hours: the Angkor park opens at 05:00 and closes at 18:30; Koh Ker, Beng Mealea and Kbal Spean open at 06:00. Some temples and the upper tower of Angkor Wat keep shorter hours, so check on the day rather than counting on 05:00 everywhere.
Children: under-12s need no ticket, but bring their passport to prove their age. The upper tower of Angkor Wat is open only from age 12.
Getting from Siem Reap to the temples
The Angkor park starts a short ride north of Siem Reap, about 10 km from town, travellers report, and the temples are spread out: the small circuit alone is roughly a half-marathon long. Choose a vehicle for the day:
- Tuk-tuk with a driver: the most common choice, about USD 30 for a full day around the temples, travellers report in August 2026. Agree the route, the start time and the price the evening before. See the tuk-tuk guide.
- Ride apps: Grab and PassApp tuk-tuks cover the main temple areas well, travellers report in 2025, handy for a half day or a single temple.
- Car with a driver: cooler and faster for the outlying temples such as Beng Mealea and Koh Ker; arrange it through your hotel or an app.
- Bicycle or e-bike: many visitors ride around the park on rented bicycles, travellers report; the distances and the heat make it a long day.
From the airport. Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI) is close to an hour from town; most people go to their hotel first and start the temples the next morning. See the Siem Reap airport guide.
Planning the day
- Sunrise at Angkor Wat means leaving town before 05:00, so book your driver the evening before and buy the pass in advance online, as the office opens at 05:30.
- One day is enough for Angkor Wat, the Bayon in Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm; the three-day pass, usable on any three days within a week, leaves room for the outer temples and rest days.
- Dress: Angkor Enterprise publishes a visitor code of conduct; for the upper tower of Angkor Wat, cover shoulders and knees, travellers report.
- Mobile signal is patchy inside the park, travellers report, so download your ticket PDF before you go.
