How much does the Angkor Pass cost and where do I buy it?

Last updated: November 4, 2026 · By Wander Cambodia

That is the whole answer. Everything below is the detail that stops the common mistakes: buying from a reseller whose pass fails at the checkpoint, burning a pass day on a sunset, and discovering at an outlying temple that it was never included.

The three passes, side by side

Pass	Price	Validity	Best for
1 day	$37	That day only	One dawn-to-dusk highlights sprint
3 days	$62	Any 3 days within 7 days	Most first visits — with a rest day built in
7 days	$72	Any 7 days within 30 days	Slow travel, photographers, repeat visits

Two dollars from every pass goes to the Kantha Bopha children's hospitals. Foreign residents who have lived in Cambodia for two years or more may qualify for a separate free annual pass — apply with proof rather than assuming it at the gate. Our full Angkor Pass guide works through circuits, checkpoints and timing in depth; this page is the priced answer on its own.

Where to buy — and the one warning that matters

There are exactly three valid routes: the official Angkor Enterprise online portal, the ticket office on Road 60 on the way into the park, and official self-service kiosks in Siem Reap. Your photo is taken or uploaded and printed on the pass, which is then checked at the park gates and at individual temples all day.

Do not buy from a reseller, a hotel-desk markup or a lookalike website. There is no such thing as a discount Angkor Pass — the pricing is set by Angkor Enterprise, it has warned in 2026 about fraudulent sites selling fake tickets, and a fake pass fails at the first checkpoint. The same rule runs through our Cambodia scams guide: for entry and visas, pay only at official counters.

What the pass covers — and what costs extra

The pass covers the main Angkor Archaeological Park temples: Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and the Bayon, Ta Prohm, the small and grand circuits, Banteay Srei and the Roluos group, among others. Checkpoints open at 5:00am; most temples run roughly 7:30am–5:30pm, with Angkor Wat open from 5:00am for sunrise.

Separate tickets apply at some outlying sites. Recent listings price Beng Mealea at $10, Koh Ker at $15 and Phnom Kulen at around $20. Those prices can change — confirm at the ticket office on the day and budget them separately. Boat trips on Tonle Sap are also separate and vary by operator.

The timing trick that saves a day

A pass bought late in the afternoon — after about 4:45pm — is generally stamped to start the next day and still lets you in that same evening for sunset. That means no ticket-office queue before a sunrise start, and no pass day spent on an evening you could have had free. Pair it with the season advice in our best time to visit Angkor Wat guide and the pacing in the Siem Reap & Angkor first-timer's guide, and the pass stops being a purchase and becomes a plan.
