Where to Buy your Angkor Pass
Tickets can only be purchased from the Angkor Ticket Office located here. They accept Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, Discover, Diners, JCB, and have ATM facilities on site.
They are open from 5 AM – 5.30 PM. After 4.30 PM, you can buy a ticket for the following day so you can go early and visit the sunrise at Angkor Wat or Phnom Bakheng. Note, that you are also free to enter the park after purchasing and watch the sunset at Phnom Bakheng for example, and then go about your full day’s exploration on the following day.
You can also get tickets online at angkorenterprise.gov.kh where you can create an account and buy either Angkor or Koh Ker tickets, or apply for the Angkor Special Pass.
Where to visit after buying your ticket?
The Angkor Pass ticket includes the Angkor Archeological Park and all the major and smaller temples, along with the Roluos Group (Bakong, Lolei, Preah Ko & Trapeang Phong) plus the outlying sites of Kbal Spean, Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea, Phnom Bok, and Phnom Krom. Atop Phnom Kulen however, requires a separate ticket, see here.
The best route that covers all the major temples of central Angkor, with the least fuss, is what’s known as the Small Circuit and the Grand Circuit. You can complete both of these circuits in two days, or preferably longer if you want to experience more detail and the many hidden wonders. If time is limited, the Small Circuit can be completed in one day and covers the two most important sites, Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom (inc Bayon) plus Preah Khan, Ta Prohm, Banteay Kdei, and smaller sites depending on your time.
Also See Navigating the Temples of Angkor for more details and maps.
Changes to Ticket Checking in Angkor
In past years you needed to show a ticket to enter the general area of Angkor, then show your ticket again upon entering the main temples such as the Bayon, Ta Prohm etc. Ticket checking has been simplified and is now only performed at the temples themselves.
