The Experience

Before You Go

Bring exact cash for entrance fees

Angkor park tickets and small vendors may not accept cards—carry Cambodian riel or USD in small denominations.

Dress respectfully for temples

Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothing to enter temple sanctuaries and avoid delays at checkpoints.

Schedule early or late

Plan tours in early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and harsh light for photos.

Agree on transport ahead

Because transportation isn’t provided, confirm tuk‑tuk or taxi timing and fares with your driver before you start.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Street food alley behind Old Market for morning rice soup (kuy teav)
  • Wat Bo neighborhood galleries and local textile workshops

Wildlife

  • House bats at dusk near canals
  • Water birds on Tonlé Sap edges during the dry season

Conservation Note

Angkor Park and surrounding wetlands face pressure from tourism and water-use; respectful visitation—sticking to trails and avoiding single-use plastics—helps reduce impact.

Siem Reap grew around the Angkor ruins and the Tonlé Sap floodplain; its urban fabric reflects both Khmer temple architecture and colonial-era planning.
