How much is the Angkor Pass in 2026?
There are three official passes for Angkor Archaeological Park. Prices are in US dollars, the currency used at the ticket center.
| Pass | Price | How long it is valid |
|---|---|---|
| 1-day pass | $37 | The day you choose |
| 3-day pass | $62 | Any 3 days within 7 days |
| 7-day pass | $72 | Any 7 days within one month |
The 3-day pass is the best value if you want more than one day: two separate 1-day passes would cost $74, so the 3-day pass is cheaper and gives you an extra day. The 3-day and 7-day passes need a photo, which is taken at the ticket center or uploaded when you buy online.
Where do you buy the Angkor Pass?
Buy only from the official ticket center on the road to Angkor or from the official Angkor Enterprise website. Passes sold by street sellers or unofficial websites may add fees or may not be valid.
- Ticket center: opens at 4:30 AM every day, so you can buy your pass on the way to a sunrise visit.
- Online: buy the day before your visit, so you do not need to stop at the ticket center. This saves time before an early start.
- With a guide: on our private tours, Tivorn can stop at the ticket center for you, or you can buy online the day before.
Can you buy tomorrow’s pass the evening before?
Yes. From about 4:45 PM the ticket center sells passes dated for the next day, and you can use that pass to enter the park the same afternoon to watch the sunset. It is a popular way to add a sunset visit before your first full day. Rules can change, so confirm the times with your guide or at the ticket center.
What does the Angkor Pass cover, and what costs extra?
| Place | Covered by the Angkor Pass? |
|---|---|
| Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon and Ta Prohm | Yes |
| Banteay Srei and Kbal Spean | Yes |
| Beng Mealea | Yes (or $10 if you visit it without a pass) |
| Koh Ker | No, separate $15 ticket |
| Phnom Kulen National Park | No, separate $20 ticket |
| Floating villages (Kampong Phluk, Kampong Khleang) | No pass needed; boat and village ticket is $24 per person, or $15 per person for groups of 2 or more |
Our Koh Ker and Beng Mealea day trip and Phnom Kulen waterfall tour both need these extra tickets, paid on the day.
Which pass should you choose?
- 1-day pass: Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm in one long day. See the Angkor full-day tour.
- 3-day pass: adds sunrise, Banteay Srei and Kbal Spean, or a sunset at Phnom Bakheng, without rushing. See the 2-day private Angkor tour.
- 7-day pass: only if you want to explore slowly, including remote temples, over a longer stay.
For a first visit, most travelers do well with the 3-day pass. If you only have one morning, read our Angkor Wat sunrise guide to plan it well.
Tips to save money and time
- Choose the 3-day pass instead of two 1-day passes.
- Buy online the day before so you do not queue at 4:30 AM.
- Bring a passport or a copy for children under 12, who enter free.
- Keep your pass with you: staff check it at every major temple.
- Check the seasons first: see the best time to visit Angkor Wat.
