Sunrise and the Bakan: when do you need to be where?

• Sunrise over the five towers is the reason the park opens at 5 am. The classic spot is the northern reflecting pool to the left of the western causeway; for the reflection, be there by 5:15 am, and depending on the season the sun clears the towers between 5:45 and 6:30. From November to February the sky is clearest, in the rainy season often more dramatic. Afterwards the crowd moves into the galleries; go to breakfast instead and come back around 8.
• Buy the pass the day before. Sunrise visitors queue at the ticket office from 4:30 am, and the check at the western causeway scans every ticket, photo on the 3- and 7-day pass included. If you buy the pass after 4:45 pm, you can use it that evening for sunset and the next day for sunrise.
• The Bakan, the third and highest level of Angkor Wat with the five towers, is reached only by a steep wooden stair with a queue, and only a limited number of people are allowed up at a time. Children under 12 are not admitted, shoulders and knees must be covered, and on Buddhist holy days the stair stays closed. The queue is shortest after 7:30 in the morning and in the late afternoon.

Angkor Wat opening hours

The park is open every day of the year. Angkor Wat opens at 5 am for sunrise, most other temples not until 7:30 am; Phnom Bakheng and Pre Rup stay open until 7 pm because that is where sunset is watched. The upper level of Angkor Wat, the Bakan, opens later than the temple itself, admits only a limited number of visitors at a time and stays closed on Buddhist holy days. Angkor Wat is quietest between 7:30 and 9 am, while the sunrise groups are at breakfast, and after 3 pm.

Buying the Angkor Pass: official or through a provider?

Just the pass? Buy it from angkorenterprise.gov.kh, the ticket platform of Angkor Enterprise: pass type, date, number, nationality, payment by credit or debit card or KHQR, and the e-ticket with QR code arrives by email straight away, valid on your phone or printed. For the 3- and 7-day pass a photo of you is taken and printed on the ticket; the 1-day pass needs no photo. On site, buy at the Angkor Ticket Office on Road 60 (cash in US dollars or card), at the kiosks in the Heritage Walk Mall and at the Angkor Parvis opposite Angkor Wat (1-day pass only), or in the Angkor Pass app.

With a guide or driver? Then book a package, but check whether the Angkor Pass is included: most tours on GetYourGuide exclude it, because the pass is personal, and stop at the ticket office before sunrise. A licensed guide makes sense of the reliefs and the kings they depict; a tuk-tuk driver only gets you there. For the Bayon, Ta Prohm and Banteay Srei a guide is worth it; for sunrise a driver will do.

Note: Only Angkor Enterprise sells the Angkor Pass; tickets from hotels, drivers or websites unconnected to the ticket office are not valid. The pass is non-transferable, non-refundable and scanned at every temple; anyone found without a valid pass pays a fine far above the price of the pass. Without covered shoulders and knees the ticket office will not sell you a pass.

Free admission and discounts

• Children under 12: free; bring a passport as proof of age. Full price from the 12th birthday.
• Students, seniors, groups: no discount; the Angkor Pass has a fixed price.
• Cambodians: free admission with ID. Foreign residents holding a visa of two years or more apply for the free Special Pass from Angkor Enterprise.
• Spread the days: The three days of the 3-day pass need not be consecutive, only within seven days; for the 7-day pass it is 30 days. A rest day between temple days costs nothing.
• Kantha Bopha: Two dollars of every pass go to the Kantha Bopha children’s hospitals in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.

Angkor with a guide: sunrise, Small Circuit, tuk-tuk

The Archaeological Park covers 400 square kilometres and the temples lie kilometres apart; you cannot do it without a vehicle. Tours leave from Siem Reap with hotel pick-up, by tuk-tuk, minivan or bicycle. Licensed guides carry the Ministry of Tourism badge and belong to the Khmer Angkor Tour Guide Association; choose the language when booking. The Angkor Pass is not included in most offers.

Affiliate links to GetYourGuide: we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you. Prices, languages and availability change; the provider’s listing prevails. Selection checked on 25 September 2026.

Getting there: from Siem Reap, the airport or Phnom Penh

Angkor Wat lies about seven kilometres north of Siem Reap, 15 to 20 minutes by tuk-tuk. The ticket office on Road 60 is on the way into the park, and every driver knows it. A tuk-tuk for the day costs roughly US$15 to 20 for the Small Circuit and 20 to 25 for the Grand Circuit, with a few dollars more for sunrise or Banteay Srei; the Grab and PassApp apps quote the price in advance. A taxi or air-conditioned minivan costs about twice as much. Bicycles and e-bikes are hired in Siem Reap from a few dollars a day; the road to Angkor Wat is flat and paved, and Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm can be done in a day. Angkor Enterprise confirms that visitors may ride scooters themselves.

Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI) replaced the old city airport in 2023 and lies about 40 kilometres east of town, 45 to 60 minutes by road; taxis and minibuses wait at the terminal, and many hotels collect guests. From Phnom Penh it is 320 kilometres, six to seven hours by bus or about an hour by plane; buses from Bangkok cross the border at Poipet and take eight to nine hours.

Ticket office, western causeway and checkpoints

Angkor Ticket Office (Road 60)

Four kilometres from the centre, on the way into the park. Besides the website, app and kiosks the only place of sale; photo for the 3- and 7-day pass, payment in US dollars or by card.

Western causeway of Angkor Wat

The main entrance across the 190-metre-wide moat, with the view of the five towers. Here are the reflecting pool for sunrise and the ticket check for Angkor Wat.

East entrance

Behind the temple on the east side: hardly anyone, tuk-tuks wait there, and if you walk in from the back after sunrise you have the galleries almost to yourself.

Checkpoints

The pass is scanned on the road into the park and at every temple; without a pass, or with someone else’s, you are turned away and fined.

South Gate of Angkor Thom

The bridge with 54 gods and 54 demons pulling the naga, 1.5 kilometres north of Angkor Wat. The way to the Bayon; tuk-tuks drop you before the gate, and you walk through it.

The western causeway, east entrance, ticket office, South Gate and the temples of the Small Circuit are on our Angkor map. To find out why the temple faces west and who had it built, read our history of Angkor Wat.

Around Angkor Wat: Angkor National Museum, Banteay Srei, Ta Prohm, Bayon

The Angkor National Museum on the road from the centre to the park shows the Gallery of a Thousand Buddhas, statues from Angkor Wat and the Bayon, and explains the kings from Jayavarman II to Jayavarman VII; admission about US$12, not in the Angkor Pass, best in the afternoon heat. Banteay Srei, 25 kilometres north-east, is the temple with the finest carvings of the empire, in pink sandstone and consecrated in 967; it is included in the Angkor Pass but takes half a day with the drive, well combined with Kbal Spean or the Landmine Museum.

Ta Prohm, the temple with strangler figs on its walls, and the Bayon with its more than 200 stone faces both lie on the Small Circuit and both in the pass; Jayavarman VII built them at the end of the 12th century, Ta Prohm for his mother, the Bayon as the state temple of his capital Angkor Thom. Ta Prohm is quietest around 7:30 am and after 4 pm, the Bayon in the early afternoon.
