Beng Mealea and Kbal Spean Tickets
Beng Mealea
If you only want to visit Beng Mealea and not buy a full Angkor Pass, as of 2025, you can buy a single entry ticket at the ticket office at Beng Mealea (see Google Maps). The ticket cost is $10 USD. The ticket office accepts most major credit cards, Khmer Reil and USD.
Kbal Spean
It’s the same deal for Kbal Spean; if you only want to visit this site and not buy a whole Angkor Archeological Park ticket, you can. The ticket is only available from the ticket office at Banteay Srei temple, and the cost is $5 USD. Note that it does not give you access to Banteay Srei temple, which is only available under the full Angkor Pass. The ticket office accepts most major credit cards, Khmer Reil and USD.
Where to Buy your Angkor Pass
You can purchase tickets from the Angkor Ticket Office, which is 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.
As of 2025, you can also purchase one-day tickets via automated vending machines at Angkor Wat here; and at Heritage Walk Mall in Siem Reap city here. The vending machine is easy to use and accepts Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover Card, KHQR, Alipay, and WeChat. It also offers four languages, including English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
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.
Changes to the Temple Opening Hours
In late 2024, the temple opening hours changed and are as such:
- Angkor Wat: changes from 5.00 am to 5.30 pm to 5.00 am to 6.00 pm
- Pre Rup, Phnom Bakheng and Phnom Krom: hours change from 7.00 am to 7.00 pm to 6.00 am to 7.00 pm
- Other temples: hours change from 7.00 am to 5.30 pm to 6.00 am to 6.30 pm
It’s noted that these hours may adjust seasonally according to the length of daylight hours.
