ANGKOR WAT TICKETS | FAQ’S

siem reap hotel package

The total number of tickets sold during the year are displayed on LCD screen at the Angkor Wat ticket counters. To access ticket sales statistics from previous years, you can find that historical data on the Angkor Enterprise official website. Pre-covid in 2019, about 7,000 tickets we sold daily.In 2023, there has been some recovery in ticket sales. Earlier in the year, daily sales plateaued around 1,000 tickets. But towards the end of 2023, this has improved to about 3,000 tickets sold per day. This rebound to around 3,000 daily tickets corresponds to roughly 50% of the pre-pandemic sales in 2019 when 7,000 tickets were sold per day.

Angkor Wat temple does not any official website per se and the only official website where you can buy your tickets online is the website of Angkor Enterprise. The website has some basic informations about Siem Reap and the opening hours of the main temples.

The temples of Angkor are open everyday even during public holidays. Angkor Archaeological Park was temporarily closed to visitors for a brief period in April 2021 and again from July 30th through August 19th, 2021. These closure announcements represented extraordinary measures taken to curb spread of the covid-19 virus.

Yes, there are 6 ATM machines located within the ticket office building. This allows visitors to easily withdraw cash to purchase their admission tickets onsite if needed.

The entrance fee for visiting the Angkor Wat complex has increased over time. In February 2017, there was a major price hike, with the 1-day pass going from $20 to $37.

If you crave  for a coffee before visiting the temples of Angkor, there's a coffee shop located inside the ticket office building.

Yes there is a free Wifi spot at Angkor Wat tickets counters with unlimited access. free wifi siem reap

These days, you need a ticket to enter the Angkor archaeological park, even if you don't intend to tour the temples. For instance, you'll still require a pass just to ride your bicycle within the park grounds. A few years ago, you could access some of the more remote temples without a pass, but that is no longer allowed. Park authorities now check for tickets at the main checkpoints. Surprisingly, they also post agents to verify passes at temples that receive fewer than 5 visitors per day. ⚠️ However, there are some temple sites outside of the main Angkor park that have separate ticketing. These include Koh Ker, Preah Vihear, Preah Khan of Kampong Svay, Banteay Chhmar temples. You also don't need an Angkor pass if you want to visit Phnom Kulen mountain. Those sites have their own distinct ticket requirements. ⚠️ Since January 2020, you do need an Angkor pass to visit the temple of Beng Mealea.

In 2024, the best value for money  is the 3-day pass: it will  allow you three entries to the park within a 10-day period.

The 3-day pass grants access for 10 days total, to be used for 3 non-consecutive days. The 7-day pass is valid for one month, for 7 non-consecutive entries. Each time you enter the archaeological park, your ticket will be punched or scanned at the checkpoints, depending on if you have a paper ticket or e-ticket.

The main ticket office is open everyday from 5 am to 5.30 pm but it is sometime possible to buy your ticket before 5 am.

Angkor Wat temple is open everyday between 5 am (sharp) and 5.30 pm. Angkor Archeological park is open between 5 am and 7 pm. However most of the temples are only open between 7.30 am and 5.30 pm. The only exceptions are Angkor Wat, Pre Rup, Phnom Bakheng temples and Srah Srang water reservoir which are opened between 5 am and 7 pm. Pre Rup temple is now open for sunset.

If you bought your ticket online no problem has you received a digital one by email. Unfortunately if you bought it at the ticket counters and buy a new one:( We advice you to take a picture of your ticket with your phone as soon as you bought it.

No, Angkor passes are non-transferable. Your photo is printed on the pass and checked at park entrances, ensuring the ticket holder matches the visitor. This verification applies to both paper passes and online e-tickets, preventing unauthorized use. Only the individual pictured on the Angkor pass can utilize its entries.

 

At the Angkor ticket office, there are 48 ticket windows organized by the type of pass sold. The majority sell 1-day and 3-day passes, while only one window sells the 7-day option. Expect to wait 5 to 25 minutes to purchase your ticket, depending on what time you go. Generally, the lines are longest right before 5am when the complex opens.

We see visitor traffic peaks at the ticket office from 5-7am and 4-5:30pm. So visiting during those high volume windows means you'll likely have a longer wait to get your Angkor pass. Planning around those rush hours can minimize your time spent in queue.

Yes. In March 2018, it was announced that a new e-ticketing platform will be put in place  with the possibility to upload your ID picture. Finally 4 years later, it looks a solution  was put in place by  Angkor Enterprise.

You can pay online using a Visa, Mastercard, Uni Pay or JCB card. For those living in Cambodia or having a ABA account you can pay via the ABA pay portal.

Purchasing an in-person Angkor pass for someone else is generally not possible, as visitors must be present to take the required identification photo. However, online ticket purchases allow buying passes for friends. By providing their photo and necessary details beforehand, you can obtain an e-ticket on their behalf remotely.

When purchasing an Angkor pass, presenting a passport is not required for adults. However, children under 12 eligible for free admission must show a passport at the ticket counter to verify their age.
