The Experience
Before You Go
Bring your Angkor Pass
Temple admission is typically not included—buy a pass at the official ticket center before entering the park.
Hydrate and reuse
Temperatures climb quickly—carry a refillable bottle; your guide supplies cool water but refills may be limited between sites.
Dress respectfully
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothing for temple visits; lightweight, breathable fabrics work best in the heat.
Claim your sunset spot early
Phnom Bakheng fills fast—aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before sunset to secure a clear view.
