Avoid:
- Sleeveless tops
- Short shorts
- Revealing clothing
Visitors who do not meet the dress code may be refused entry to certain areas.
Helpful Tips
- Sunrise visits: Arrive before 5:30 AM for the famous sunrise view.
- Buy the day before: If you purchase a ticket for the following day after about 4:45 PM, you can also enter that same evening for sunset without using your next day's validity.
- Keep your pass with you throughout the day, as it may be checked at multiple temple entrances.
Which Pass Should You Choose?
- 1-Day Pass ($37): Best if you only want to see the highlights such as Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm.
- 3-Day Pass ($62): Ideal for most visitors who want a relaxed itinerary.
- 7-Day Pass ($72): Best for photographers, history enthusiasts, and travelers planning an in-depth exploration.
For most first-time visitors, the 3-day pass offers the best value, allowing you to explore the temples at a comfortable pace without rushing.
