Angkor Wat Temple Ticket Prices and How to Buy

Here Is Every Number, Every Option, and the Exact Steps to Buy Right Now - And Exactly How to Buy One Before You Land)

Angkor Wat temple ticket prices in 2026 are $37 for 1 day, $62 for 3 days, and $72 for 7 days — all managed by the official Angkor Enterprise.

You can buy your Angkor pass online, at ticket counters on Road 60, at self-service kiosks in town, or through your tour guide. Buying online at least 24 hours in advance saves you 30 to 45 minutes of queue time, which matters a lot if you are planning an early sunrise visit. Children under 12 enter free with passport proof.

our single pass covers over 90 temples across the Angkor Archaeological Park, including Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Beng Mealea — but Koh Ker and Phnom Kulen require separate tickets.

Read on for a full breakdown of every option, what is included, and the smart timing strategies that most travelers never figure out until it is too late.

How Much Are Angkor Wat Temple Ticket Prices in 2026?

Angkor Wat ticket prices are $37, $62, and $72 depending on how many days you visit.

These prices have stayed the same since 2019, which is genuinely one of the better deals in Southeast Asia when you consider you are getting access to over 90 ancient temples spread across 400 square kilometres of UNESCO World Heritage site.

Here is the full breakdown:

Pass Type	Price (USD)	Validity	Best For
1-Day Pass	$37	Same calendar day	Tight schedules, first-timers with one free day
3-Day Pass	$62	Any 3 days within 10 days	Most popular — great for a balanced visit
7-Day Pass	$72	Any 7 days within 30 days	Photography lovers, temple enthusiasts

A small note that often goes unmentioned: every ticket price includes a $2 donation to Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospital. So you are doing something good even before you set foot in the park.

Most travelers default to the 1-day pass. But here is the honest truth — once you arrive at Ta Prohm at 11 AM in the heat with two temples still on your list, you will wish you had given yourself more time. The 3-day pass costs just $25 more than the 1-day pass and buys you so much more comfort.

What Temples Are Included in the Angkor Pass?

Your Angkor pass covers the entire Angkor Archaeological Park, including all major temples like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Beng Mealea.

That is not a small thing. One ticket, and you have access to the best of the Khmer Empire’s surviving architecture.

Included with your Angkor pass:

Angkor Wat (the main event — world’s largest religious monument)
Angkor Thom complex, including Bayon Temple with its 216 stone faces
Ta Prohm (the one everyone calls the “Tomb Raider Temple”)
Banteay Srei (the pink sandstone temple, detailed beyond belief)
Beng Mealea (added to the pass in 2020 — many guides still do not know this)
Pre Rup, East Mebon, Neak Pean, Ta Som, Preah Khan, and dozens more

Not included — separate tickets required:

Site	Separate Ticket Price
Koh Ker Temple Complex (UNESCO since 2023)	$15
Phnom Kulen National Park	approx. $20
Preah Vihear	Separate pricing at site

If you are only visiting Beng Mealea and Koh Ker and skipping the main Angkor temples entirely, you actually do not need the Angkor pass at all. You can buy a standalone Beng Mealea ticket for $10 and the Koh Ker ticket for $15 separately, saving $12 compared to the 1-day Angkor pass.

How to Buy Angkor Wat Tickets — 5 Ways That Actually Work

You can buy your Angkor Wat ticket online, at ticket counters, at self-service kiosks, via mobile app, or through your tour guide.

Each option has a real use case. Here is which one fits your situation.

Option 1: Buy Online (Recommended)

The official portal is run by Angkor Enterprise and it works exactly as it should.

How to buy online:

Go to the official Angkor Enterprise ticketing portal
Select your pass type (1-day, 3-day, or 7-day)
Upload a passport-style photo (required for multi-day passes)
Pay by Visa, Mastercard, JCB, or UnionPay
Receive your QR code instantly by email

The QR code works offline. Download it before you leave your hotel. Done.

Why bother buying online? Because during peak season (November to February), the ticket counter line can stretch 50 people deep before 5 AM. If you are trying to get to Angkor Wat for sunrise, losing 45 minutes in a queue is not a fun start to the day.

Option 2: Main Ticket Counter on Road 60

The Angkor Enterprise Main Office sits on Road 60, about 5 km from central Siem Reap and roughly midway between the airport and the temples.

Hours: 4:30 AM to 5:30 PM daily
Payment: USD cash, Cambodian Riel, Thai Baht, Euro, Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, JCB, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay
Best time to go: Late afternoon (after 3 PM) for next-day entry, or very early if you are heading to sunrise

Option 3: Self-Service Kiosks (New in 2025)

As of January 2025, there are 15 self-service kiosks across three locations. They accept credit cards, dispense tickets in under 2 minutes, and have multilingual interfaces in English, Khmer, Chinese, and French.

Kiosk locations:

Main ticket office on Road 60
Heritage Walk Mall, Basement Level 1 (open 8 AM to 9 PM — great the evening before your visit)
Angkor Wat entrance directly

The Heritage Walk Mall kiosk is honestly the most convenient option if you are already in town the evening before your temple day. Pop in while you are at dinner, buy your ticket, and skip all morning queues.

For a full list of locations and hours, see our guide to Angkor Park Pass ticket counters.

Option 4: Official Angkor Enterprise Mobile App

Download the app on iOS or Android. It works the same way as the website but stores your QR code directly on your phone, works offline, and gives you real-time temple capacity updates and offline maps. Particularly useful if you like knowing how busy Phnom Bakheng is before you make the climb.

Option 5: Through Your Tour Guide

If you are joining a guided tour, your guide can purchase on your behalf. Most reputable tour operators — including us at My Siem Reap Tours — factor this into the booking process so you never have to think about it the morning of your visit.

What Is the Best Time to Buy Tickets to Avoid Lines?

Buy your Angkor Wat ticket online or at Heritage Walk Mall the evening before your temple visit.

This is the single most practical tip I can give you. Do not leave ticket purchasing to the morning of your visit.

If you are going for sunrise (and you should — it is worth every second), you need to be through the Angkor Wat checkpoint by 5:15 AM. The ticket office opens at 4:30 AM. The math only works if you bought your ticket in advance.

Timing strategy by season:

Season	Crowd Level	Recommended Approach
Nov to Feb (peak)	High — 40% more visitors	Buy online 24 to 48 hours before
Mar to May (shoulder)	Moderate	Online or kiosk evening before
Jun to Oct (low/rainy)	Low	On-site kiosk morning of visit is fine

One more thing worth knowing: Phnom Bakheng, the most popular sunset viewpoint in the park, has a strict 300-person capacity limit. Arrive before 4 PM to guarantee your spot. If you show up at 5 PM hoping to catch the sunset, you may be turned away. Your Angkor pass covers entry but does not reserve your spot on the hill.

Do Tickets Cover Sunrise or Sunset Visits?

Yes, your Angkor pass covers both sunrise and sunset — but the timing of when you enter matters.

One-day passes must be used on the same calendar day they are purchased. Tickets bought after 5 PM are valid for the following day, which is actually perfect if you want to buy your pass after dinner and arrive at Angkor Wat before dawn.

Temple hours you need to know:

Temple or Location	Opening Hours	Key Note
Angkor Wat	5:00 AM to 6:00 PM	Opens for sunrise — arrive by 5:15 AM for the best reflection pool spots
Phnom Bakheng (sunset hill)	5:00 AM to 7:00 PM	300-person limit — arrive by 4:00 PM
Most other temples	7:30 AM to 5:30 PM	Standard daytime access
Ticket office	4:30 AM to 5:30 PM	Early opening for sunrise visitors

So yes, one ticket covers you for a full day from before sunrise to after sunset. If you want both — sunrise at Angkor Wat in the morning and golden hour at Phnom Bakheng in the evening — the 1-day pass does that.

What Are the Angkor Wat Ticket Requirements?

Since August 2024, adults no longer need a passport or photo to purchase on-site. Your face is printed on the ticket and used for verification during your visit.

This was a big policy shift and most travel sites have not caught up with it yet.

Here is exactly what you need:

To purchase your ticket:

Adults: No passport required at counter or kiosk
Just your nationality when asked
Online purchase: You do upload a selfie-style photo (used for your ticket face)

During your temple visit:

Guards scan your QR code at checkpoints
They compare your face to the printed photo on your ticket
About 1% of visitors face an ID check request
A phone photo of your passport works fine if asked

For children under 12:

Free entry, but you must show proof of age
Child’s passport, government-issued ID with birth date, or birth certificate
No exceptions at the gate — bring the document or pay $37

Practically speaking, take a photo of your children’s passports before you leave home and keep it on your phone. You will thank yourself later.

Which Angkor Pass Is Right for You?

Choose the 1-day pass if you have one full temple day. Choose the 3-day pass if you have two or more days and want flexibility.

Here is how I think about it with the travelers I work with:

1-Day Pass at $37: Go for this if you have exactly one day for temples and you are comfortable moving at a good pace. You can realistically cover Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and two or three smaller temples in a day with a guide.

3-Day Pass at $62: This is the one I recommend most. For just $25 more than the 1-day pass, you can visit any 3 days within a 10-day window. This means you can take a rest day in the middle, revisit Angkor Wat in different light, and actually slow down enough to read the carvings instead of rushing past them.

7-Day Pass at $72: Only $10 more than the 3-day pass. If you are staying more than a week and love temples, photography, or want to visit lesser-known sites on separate days, this is exceptional value.

Quick Decision Guide:
1 day in Siem Reap: 1-day pass ($37)
2 to 4 days in Siem Reap: 3-day pass ($62)
5+ days or photography focus: 7-day pass ($72)

Tours That Make the Most of Your Angkor Pass

Buying your ticket is just step one. Getting to the right temples at the right time with someone who knows which doorway to stand in for the perfect photo — that is what makes the difference between a good day and an unforgettable one.

Here are the tours from My Siem Reap Tours that pair best with each pass type:

For the Sunrise Experience

The Private Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour is our most requested experience. Your private guide gets you positioned at the reflection pools before the tour buses arrive. You also get a monk blessing at Prasat Preah Palilay — something very few standard tours include.

Prefer a shared experience at a lower price point? The Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour covers the same sunrise magic with a small group setup and all the same expert local commentary.

For the Sunset Experience

The Angkor Wat Sunset Tour times your afternoon perfectly. You will enter Angkor Wat as the crowds thin out, watch the light shift from harsh white to warm gold across the stone towers, and leave with photos you will actually want to print.

For Late Risers

Not a morning person? You do not need to be. The Late Morning Angkor Tour starts pickup at 9:50 AM. You sleep in, have a proper breakfast, and still see Angkor Thom, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Angkor Wat at sunset. Four legendary temples. One full day. Zero pre-dawn alarms.

For the Complete One-Day Circuit

The Angkor Wat Small Circuit Tour covers seven key temples in 9 hours: Angkor Wat, Bayon, Prasat Preah Palilay, Victory Gate, Chau Say Tevoda, Ta Keo, and Ta Prohm. It is private, priced per group (not per person), and includes your guide, driver, cold water, and monk blessing. The 1-day Angkor pass ($37) is purchased separately.

For Something Beyond the Temples

The Angkor Wat to Siem Reap Floating Village Tour combines the archaeological park in the morning with an afternoon boat ride through the floating villages of Kampong Phluk on Tonle Sap Lake. You get ancient stone temples before noon, then actual life on the water in the afternoon. It is one of the most complete single-day experiences in Cambodia.

My Honest Take on the Angkor Pass System

I have been planning Angkor visits for years. The ticketing system has genuinely improved a lot since 2024. The digital QR code system means no paper stub to lose. The self-service kiosks in town mean you can buy your ticket over dinner the night before. And the fact that prices have not changed in seven years is a real win for travelers.

The one thing that catches people off guard? The 3-day pass is almost always better value than they expect. Most travelers who pick the 1-day pass later wish they had one more morning to go back to Angkor Wat in quieter conditions. For $25 extra, that flexibility is almost always worth it.

Your Next Steps

Getting your Angkor Wat temple ticket sorted before you arrive is the single move that protects your experience on the ground. Buy online through the official Angkor Enterprise portal, save the QR code to your phone, and take a screenshot as backup.

Pick the right pass for your schedule. Consider a 3-day pass even if you think you only need one day. And if you want the best possible experience, pair your ticket with a guided tour so you spend your time actually seeing the temples instead of navigating them.
