In shortAngkor Wat tickets are Angkor Temples Park passes in three lengths: $37 for one day, $62 for three days, which the official site states expires in 7 days, and $72 for seven days, expiring in 30 days. All three are printed with the same park hours, entry from 5:00 AM and closing at 6:30 PM; the two longer ones are issued with the holder's photograph on them, and whichever you buy gets scanned at the temple gates.

How Angkor Wat tickets work inside the park
Entry to Angkor Temples Park runs on one pass issued by Angkor Enterprise, the state seller, and that pass opens every monument inside. Beside each pass type the official site prints the park's hours: entry from 5:00 AM, closing at 6:30 PM.
Staff scan and verify the pass at every temple checkpoint before letting you through, so it has to be on you all day rather than left in the vehicle or back at the hotel. Passes bought online arrive by email instantly and can be shown on a phone or printed, which starts to matter once you are walking into four or five separate monuments in one morning and handing it over at each gate.
The 3-day and 7-day passes are personal. Your face is photographed at purchase and printed on the ticket, so a multi-day pass stays with one named holder instead of circulating around a group. The 1-day checkout makes no mention of a photograph.
Angkor Wat ticket types and validity windows
The official price list has three lengths and nothing in between: one day at $37, three days at $62, seven days at $72. What separates them is the window the visit days can sit in as much as the count of days itself. According to the official site the 3-day pass expires in 7 days and the 7-day pass expires in 30 days, so your temple days do not have to run back to back.
That window is the useful part. On the 3-day pass you can take a rest day, shift a temple morning away from a storm, or drop a half-day at an outlying site between two park days and still use all three entries.
| Pass | Price | Validity | Photograph on the ticket | The visit it suits |
|---|
| 1-day pass | $37 | A single day in the park | Not mentioned at the 1-day checkout | One morning only: Angkor Wat from the 5:00 AM opening, then Angkor Thom |
|---|
| 3-day pass | $62 | Expires in 7 days, per the official site | Your face is photographed at purchase and printed on the ticket | Two or three temple days placed anywhere inside a week, consecutive or not |
|---|
| 7-day pass | $72 | Expires in 30 days, per the official site | Your face is photographed at purchase and printed on the ticket | Four or more temple days, or a week-long stay that also takes in the outlying sites |

One temple day, guide and vehicle included
With the $37 single-day pass, the one day you have in the park needs to work first time. This 8-hour tour from Siem Reap sets an English tour guide, an air-conditioned vehicle, cold water and a cold towel around that pass, and lets you decide whether the day runs from dawn or into the late afternoon.

Which pass length to choose
Take the 3-day pass at $62 unless you really do have one morning and nothing more. Two separate 1-day passes come to $74, more than the three-day ticket costs, so even a two-day temple stay works out cheaper on the longer pass and leaves a spare entry inside the 7-day window for whatever the weather does.
The 7-day pass at $72 earns its $10 difference only if you want four or more days in the park, or if your week also takes in the sites that sit outside the Angkor pass. Work out the number of temple days first, match the pass to that, then book the guided days around it.
- One morning in the park: the 1-day pass at $37
- Two or three temple days, or one day with weather insurance: the 3-day pass at $62, three entries inside a 7-day window
- Four or more temple days, or a week based in Siem Reap: the 7-day pass at $72, valid within 30 days
- Any multi-day pass: the photograph is printed on it, so it stays with the person who bought it
The outlying sites are ticketed separately
Koh Ker, Beng Mealea and Kbal Spean sit outside the Angkor pass. Each has its own one-day ticket: $15 at Koh Ker, $10 at Beng Mealea, $5 at Kbal Spean, and you need one for each site you visit.
Their hours differ as well. Those three tickets admit visitors from 6:00 AM rather than 5:00 AM, with the same 6:30 PM close, so a dawn start is off the table on the days you head out there. Treat them as whole or half days of their own and leave the park days to the park.
Park entry on a guided day
Obtaining the pass through your tour guide is one of the five official channels the ticketing authority lists, alongside the website, the mobile app, a kiosk and a staffed counter. On the tours below the pass is a separate required fee, outside the tour price; the guide or the ticket-office stop on the way in sorts it before the first checkpoint, so nobody in the vehicle is sorting it out in the dark.
Kiosks deserve one line of caution. They issue the 1-Day Pass only, so a 3-day or 7-day pass has to come through one of the other channels.

Questions people ask
How many temples does one Angkor pass open?
More than 50 accessible temples inside Angkor Temples Park are covered by a single pass, whichever of the three lengths you buy. Across all of its ticketed sites the ticketing authority promotes more than 90 temples, which is why the outlying ones carry tickets of their own. Angkor Wat is one monument within that total, covering 162.6 hectares (402 acres).
Does the Angkor pass cover Phnom Kulen?
No. Phnom Kulen is a separate national park with its own $20 per person entrance ticket, valid for one day, and the Angkor pass is not accepted there. Count it as an extra entry on top of whichever park pass you hold.
Is the Tonle Sap boat ride on the same ticket?
No. Angkor Enterprise is the official seller for both the Archaeological Park pass and the Chong Kneas boat ride, but the two are separate tickets, and the boat ride is priced per boat rather than per person. The park pass does nothing for you at the pier.
Can two people share one pass?
Not on the longer passes. The 3-day and 7-day passes require your face to be photographed at purchase and printed on the ticket, so each traveller needs their own. Staff scan and verify the pass at every temple checkpoint, which is where a shared ticket would stop working.
Do I need a pass for every day of a longer stay?
Only for the days you actually enter the park. The 3-day pass covers three visit days and the official site states it expires in 7 days, so a rest day or a Tonle Sap afternoon in between costs you no entries. The 7-day pass works the same way inside a 30-day expiry.
