Why do I need an Angkor pass?

 

If you want to enter Angkor archeological park, even if you do not plan to visit any temples (for example just riding your bicycle), you do need a ticket….
Few years ago, it was still possible to visit some remote temples without one, but not anymore. In addition to the main checkpoints, you will also find agents checking your pass even in temples with less than 5 visitors a day, believe it or not…

⚠️ Please note that Koh Ker, Preah Vihear, Preah Khan of Kampong Svay, Banteay Chhmar temples have a different ticket and therefore you will not need your Angkor pass there. Same thing applies if you want to visit Phnom Kulen mountain.

⚠️ Since January 2020, you do need an Angkor pass to visit the temple of Beng Mealea.
