The Experience
Before You Go
Buy your Angkor day pass ahead
Purchase the one-day pass ($37) before arrival or first thing at the ticket center to avoid lines and ensure access to all scheduled temples.
Dress for respect and heat
Wear lightweight, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees — temple staff enforce modest dress and it keeps sun exposure down.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Plan for 2–3 liters of water per person and take regular shade breaks during midday heat; vendors are available near major temples.
Protect your camera and footing
Bring a small daypack and sturdy walking shoes — temple stones can be slippery and tree roots create uneven steps.
