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.

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.
