Nearly 955,131 visitors bought Angkor Wat tickets in 2025, making it the busiest year for Cambodia's most famous temple complex in over a decade. If you're planning a visit in 2026, the good news is that prices haven't changed since 2023, and the system for buying your pass is more straightforward than ever.
There are three pass options: a 1-day ticket for $37, a 3-day pass for $62, and a 7-day pass for $72. The real question isn't how much Angkor Wat tickets cost, it's which pass is right for you and how to get the most out of it.
This guide covers everything you need to know: current prices, where to buy your ticket, which pass suits your trip, and a handful of practical tips we share with every guest at Villa Agati before they head to the temples.
How Much Do Angkor Wat Tickets Cost in 2026?
| Pass Type | Price (USD) | Validity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Day Pass | $37 | Single calendar day | Short visits or layovers |
| 3-Day Pass | $62 | Any 3 days within 10 days | Most first-time visitors |
| 7-Day Pass | $72 | Any 7 days within 30 days | Temple enthusiasts and photographers |
The 3-day pass is the sweet spot for most travelers. Three single-day tickets would cost $111, so the 3-day pass saves you $49. Even if you only end up using two of your three days, you still come out ahead compared to buying two separate 1-day passes ($74). The 7-day pass is just $10 more than the 3-day, which makes it a no-brainer if you plan to visit four or more days.
Which Angkor Wat Pass Should You Choose?
The right pass depends on how much time you have in Siem Reap and how deep you want to go. Here's a quick breakdown to help you decide.
Are You Visiting for One Day Only?
The 1-day pass works if you're on a layover or squeezing Angkor Wat into a packed Southeast Asia itinerary. You can see Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm in a single day if you start early. But let's be honest: one day barely scratches the surface. The park covers over 400 square kilometers, and the main circuit alone takes a full day to do properly. If there's any way to add a second or third day, you'll be glad you did.
Do You Want to Explore Beyond the Main Circuit?
The 3-day pass opens up the full Angkor experience. Here's a sample itinerary that covers the highlights without rushing:
- Day 1: Angkor Wat sunrise + Small Circuit (Bayon, Ta Prohm, Banteay Kdei)
- Day 2: Grand Circuit (Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Pre Rup) + Banteay Srei
- Day 3: Beng Mealea or Koh Ker day trip
This pacing gives you time to actually enjoy the temples instead of sprinting between them. You can read our full-day Angkor itinerary for a detailed hour-by-hour plan.
Where to Buy Your Angkor Wat Tickets
There are five ways to get your pass:
- Online at the official Angkor Enterprise website
- At the ticket office on Apsara Road (open 5:00 AM to 5:30 PM)
- Self-service kiosks at several locations in Siem Reap
- Through the Angkor Enterprise mobile app (available on iOS and Android)
- Via your tour guide, who can purchase on your behalf
Can You Buy Angkor Wat Tickets Online?
Yes, and for many visitors it's the easiest option. Head to the Angkor Enterprise website, select your pass type, upload a photo, and pay by credit or debit card. You'll receive a digital ticket that you can download to your phone or print. At the temple checkpoints, staff will scan the QR code on your ticket.
The online system works well, but there are trade-offs depending on how you prefer to buy. Here's a quick comparison:
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Online | Skip the queue, buy from anywhere, digital ticket on your phone | Need internet connection, card payment only |
| In-Person | Pay with cash, buy same morning | Queues during peak season (Nov-Feb), office is 5 km from town center |

5 Tips to Save Time and Money on Your Angkor Pass
-
Buy your pass after 4:45 PM for a free sunset. The ticket office lets you enter the park that same evening if you purchase after 4:45 PM. Head to Phnom Bakheng or Pre Rup for sunset, then use your full pass starting the next day.
This sunset trick effectively gives you an extra half-day of temple access at no additional cost. -
Go online during peak season. Between November and February, the ticket office queue can stretch 30+ people deep. Buying online takes two minutes and saves you the detour to the Apsara Road office before sunrise.
-
Bring your passport for children under 12. Kids enter free, but staff may ask for age verification. A passport or a photo of the passport on your phone is usually enough.
-
Pay in USD. While the ticket office accepts Cambodian riel, Thai baht, and euros, change is given in Cambodian riel. Paying in US dollars avoids confusion and makes the math simple.
-
Plan your sunrise logistics the night before. Confirm your tuk-tuk pickup time, charge your camera, and lay out your clothes so you're not scrambling at 4:30 AM. If you're staying with us, our sunrise tour from Villa Agati includes a 4:30 AM pickup. At Villa Agati, we pack a breakfast box for guests heading out before dawn, so you can eat on the way and arrive fueled for the morning.
If you're looking for a quiet base close to the temples, our rooms start from $24/night with free bikes and tuk-tuk arrangements to make your temple days easy.
What Does Your Angkor Wat Ticket Include?
One ticket covers everything except Phnom Kulen. That site requires a separate $20 fee. Here's what your Angkor pass gets you access to:
- All temples within the Angkor Archaeological Park (Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and dozens more)
- Outlying sites: Banteay Srei, Kbal Spean, Chau Srei Vibol
- Beng Mealea temple, about 65 km east of Siem Reap
- Koh Ker (included in the standard pass since 2023)
- Phnom Kulen: not included, requires a separate $20 entry fee
Villa Agati sits 7 km from Angkor Wat. We arrange tuk-tuks, provide free bicycles, and our team can help plan your temple days down to the last detail. Take a look at our rooms in Siem Reap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy Angkor Wat tickets at the temple gate?
No. There is no ticket booth at Angkor Wat itself. The official ticket office is on Apsara Road, about 5 km north of Siem Reap's center and 5.5 km from the main Angkor Wat entrance. You can also buy online or at self-service kiosks in town.
Do I need a photo for my Angkor Wat ticket?
Only for multi-day passes. The 1-day ticket does not require a photo. For the 3-day and 7-day passes, your photo is captured at the ticket office or uploaded during online purchase. The photo is printed on the pass and checked at temple entry points.
Can I get a refund on my Angkor Wat ticket?
No. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. If your plans change, remember that the 3-day pass is valid for any 3 days within 10 days, giving you flexibility to reschedule.
Does the Angkor pass include Beng Mealea and Koh Ker?
Yes. Both sites have been included in the standard Angkor pass since 2023. Beng Mealea is about 65 km east of Siem Reap (roughly 1.5 hours by car), while Koh Ker is about 120 km northeast (2.5 hours).
What time does the Angkor Wat ticket office open?
The ticket office on Apsara Road opens at 5:00 AM and closes at 5:30 PM daily, including weekends and holidays. If you are buying for a sunrise visit, arrive by 5:00 AM to purchase and still reach Angkor Wat in time.
