“Standing at the reflecting pool as the sun came up behind the towers is something I'll never forget. We were glad we'd booked the 3-day pass — one day is not enough for a place this size, and the second and third days were calmer and just as extraordinary.”
“The Bayon faces in the late afternoon, with almost no one around, were the highlight for me — even more than Angkor Wat itself. Having an open-date pass meant we could go back when the light was right rather than racing a clock.”
“Ta Prohm with the giant tree roots swallowing the stone is exactly as magical as the photos promise. The concierge sorted the photo step for our multi-day pass painlessly and sent a sensible route so we weren't backtracking in the heat.”
5-minute audio guide
Hand-written, narrated by a heritage host, sent to every customer the day before their visit. Five minutes that turns the postcard photo into a real story — the god-king who built the largest temple on Earth, the smiling faces of the Bayon, and the jungle that swallowed Ta Prohm.

Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world and the supreme achievement of Khmer architecture. It was built in the first half of the 12th century, around 1113 to 1150, for King Suryavarman II as a temple-mountain dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, and later transformed into a Buddhist site. Its five lotus-bud towers, raised on a vast moated platform and reflected in the pools at dawn, have become the emblem of Cambodia itself — the only building to appear on a national flag. The temple's galleries carry nearly a kilometre of carved bas-reliefs depicting Hindu epics, churning oceans and marching armies.
But Angkor Wat is only the beginning. The wider Angkor Archaeological Park spreads across a vast forested landscape that was once the heart of the Khmer Empire, home to hundreds of temples built between the 9th and 15th centuries. At its centre stands the walled royal city of Angkor Thom, entered through monumental gates and crowned by the Bayon — a temple-mountain studded with more than two hundred huge, serene stone faces gazing out in every direction. A short distance away, Ta Prohm has been left much as explorers found it, its corridors gripped by the roots of giant strangler figs and silk-cotton trees in one of the most photographed marriages of stone and jungle anywhere.
The park rewards time. A single day is enough for the essential trio — Angkor Wat at sunrise, the Bayon, and Ta Prohm — but three days is the sweet spot, opening up Angkor Thom in full, the river-of-a-thousand-lingas at Kbal Spean, and the exquisite pink-sandstone carving of Banteay Srei. The pass is open-dated: you choose your own days within its window and arrive when it suits you, with no fixed time slot to book. Angkor was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1992.
Angkor Tickets acts as a facilitator to help international visitors arrange entry passes for the Angkor Archaeological Park, which is managed by the Cambodian authorities. We do not resell passes — we provide a personalised booking and English-language support service, and our concierge service fee is included in the displayed price. For multi-day passes, the pass is personal and carries each traveller's photo, so we'll request a passport-style photo for each visitor after you book. For those who prefer to arrange entry directly, passes are sold via the operator's ticketing platform.
Plan your visit
Season by season, and the best time of day — how to pick the right month and the right morning for Angkor and its famous sunrise.
From the airport to the temples, and how to move around the park — tuk-tuk, car-and-driver, bike and guide options compared.
For most visitors the 3-day pass is the sweet spot: it lets you see Angkor Wat at sunrise, the Bayon, Ta Prohm and Angkor Thom without rushing, and add Banteay Srei and the outlying temples. A 1-day pass works for a focused first visit to the essential trio. The 7-day pass suits travellers who want to explore the whole park slowly, including the jungle and river temples. The 3-day and 7-day passes let you spread your days out, not just use them back to back.
No. The Angkor pass is open-dated — you choose your own days within the pass window and arrive during opening hours, with no fixed entry time. That includes sunrise entry, so you can be at Angkor Wat for dawn on whichever morning you pick.
No. The 3-day pass gives you entry on any three days within a 10-day window, and the 7-day pass gives you any seven days within a one-month window. Your days do not need to be back to back, so you can rest, take a side trip, or wait for clear weather between temple days.
The 1-day pass is for a single calendar day. The 3-day pass is valid across a 10-day window (use any three days within it). The 7-day pass is valid across a one-month window (use any seven days within it). The window starts from your first day of entry.
Sunrise is the iconic Angkor experience. Your pass includes early entry, and temples like Angkor Wat open from around 05:00 for dawn. Arrive in the dark, settle by the northern reflecting pool to the left of the causeway for the classic mirrored-towers view, and be in place 30–45 minutes before sunrise on busy mornings. It is the most popular moment of the day, so an open-date pass lets you pick a clear morning.
The Angkor multi-day pass is personal and carries each visitor's photo, which is checked at temple entrances to prevent passes being shared. Because of this, for the 3-day and 7-day passes we'll ask for a simple passport-style photo of each traveller after you book — it takes a moment and we handle the rest. The 1-day pass does not need this step.
Angkor Wat and active religious areas require shoulders and knees covered for everyone. The upper level of Angkor Wat (the Bakan sanctuary) enforces this strictly and may refuse entry to anyone in vests, short shorts or short skirts. Bring a light scarf or wear breathable long sleeves and trousers or a long skirt — it keeps you respectful and protects you from the sun.
A tuk-tuk for the day is the classic, affordable and breezy way to move between the central temples and is ideal for one to three days. A car-and-driver is more comfortable in heat or rain and better for the more distant temples like Banteay Srei. A private guide is not required for entry but transforms the visit — the bas-reliefs and history come alive. Many visitors combine a tuk-tuk with a guide for the key temples. We can help arrange transport and a guide alongside your pass.
One day covers the essential trio — Angkor Wat at sunrise, the Bayon in Angkor Thom, and Ta Prohm. Three days lets you see the park properly, including Angkor Thom in full, Banteay Srei and Pre Rup. A week opens up the outlying and jungle temples at a relaxed pace. Most first-time visitors find three days the right balance of depth and stamina in the heat.
The Angkor park begins about 6 km north of central Siem Reap, roughly 15–20 minutes by tuk-tuk or car. Siem Reap has an international airport with connections across Asia. Most visitors base in Siem Reap town and hire a tuk-tuk or driver each day to reach and move around the temples.
Angkor Wat itself, for its scale, towers and bas-reliefs; the Bayon, in the walled city of Angkor Thom, for its 200-plus giant stone faces; and Ta Prohm, the 'jungle temple' wrapped in strangler-fig roots. With more time, add Banteay Srei (exquisite pink-sandstone carving), Preah Khan, Ta Som, Pre Rup and the sunset hill of Phnom Bakheng.
Yes — Ta Prohm, with its corridors gripped by the roots of giant strangler figs and silk-cotton trees, is the temple made globally famous by film and is one of the most photographed sites at Angkor. It has been deliberately left much as it was found, with the jungle still entwined in the stone, rather than fully cleared.
November to February is the most comfortable season — drier and a little cooler, though the most popular. March to May is very hot. The June–October wet season brings short heavy downpours but lush green landscapes, fuller moats and reflecting pools, and thinner crowds. Sunrise visibility depends on the morning, so an open-date pass that lets you pick a clear day is a real advantage in any season.
Your pass is open-dated within its window, so for most visits you simply choose your own days and arrive during opening hours. If your plans change, reply to your confirmation email and our concierge team will help where we can.
Yes. Angkor was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1992, recognising one of the most important archaeological landscapes in Southeast Asia — the temples and hydraulic landscape of the Khmer Empire's capital from the 9th to the 15th century.
Yes, with planning. The temples are spread out and the heat is significant, so a car-and-driver, frequent water and shade breaks, and an early start help a great deal. Some temples involve steep stairs and uneven ancient stone — the upper level of Angkor Wat in particular — but the main galleries, the Bayon and Ta Prohm are manageable at a gentle pace. A 3-day pass lets families spread the visit out rather than tiring in a single long day.
Carry your passport or a copy as general travel ID in Cambodia, but at the temple gates the QR pass — which carries your photo on the multi-day version — is what's scanned and checked. We'll explain exactly what to have ready when we send your confirmation.
