Angkor Pass Prices: One, Three or Seven Days
The Angkor pass is the one ticket almost every Siem Reap itinerary leaves out of the price, so it pays to know the cost before comparing quotes. As of October 2026, the official Angkor Enterprise site lists the one-day pass at US$37, the three-day pass at US$62 and the seven-day pass at US$72, and the longer passes run across a window of days rather than consecutive days. This note covers the prices, the validity windows, the photo rule, children, the outlying temples and how to compare tour quotes. Figures were checked on angkorenterprise.gov.kh on October 21, 2026.
Three passes cover the main park, priced from US$37
The Angkor Temples Park ticket page lists three passes, checked October 21, 2026:
- One-day pass: US$37, valid for one day.
- Three-day pass: US$62, listed as expiring seven days after issue.
- Seven-day pass: US$72, listed as expiring 30 days after issue.
The same page gives the main park's entry time as 5:00 AM and closing time as 6:30 PM. Sunrise at Angkor Wat falls inside that window, which is why tour pick-ups start in the dark.
The arithmetic, which is ours, is simple. Two separate one-day passes cost US$74, more than the seven-day pass. Anyone spending two or three days at the temples should buy the three-day pass, and anyone spending four or more should buy the seven-day pass.
Multi-day passes run across a window, not consecutive days
Read with their names, the official validity labels mean three temple days inside a week and seven temple days inside a month. Nothing on the ticket page requires the days to be back to back.
That matters on package itineraries that split Siem Reap around a rest day or a Tonle Sap boat trip.
A three-day pass still covers a temple day, a lake day and two more temple days, as long as the last visit falls inside the seven-day window.
One official shortcut helps arriving travellers. The Angkor Enterprise FAQ says a ticket bought after 4:45 PM the day before can be used that evening for sunset, with the ticket's full validity still available the next day for sunrise and daytime visits.
The one-day ticket is built around the Small Circuit
The FAQ pairs the one-day ticket with the Small Circuit: 14 sites including Angkor Wat, Phnom Bakheng, the Bayon and Ta Prohm.
It pairs the three-day and seven-day tickets with the Small Circuit plus the Grand Circuit, which adds 10 sites including Preah Khan, Neak Pean and Ta Som.
For a tour buyer, that pairing matters more than the price gap.
An itinerary that promises Preah Khan and Ta Som on a single temple day is either very rushed or counting drive-bys, a pattern covered in our note on how to read a tour itinerary.
Outlying temples need their own tickets
Several sites on longer itineraries sit outside the main park pass. The official ticket page lists these separately, checked October 21, 2026:
- Koh Ker Temples Park: US$15 for one day, open 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
- Beng Mealea: US$10 for one day, open 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
- Kbal Spean: US$5 for one day, open 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
A quote that says the Angkor pass is included does not necessarily include these. Ask whether Beng Mealea or Koh Ker tickets are in the price whenever either appears on the day-by-day plan.
Our Angkor tour checklist lists the other items that tend to sit outside the headline figure.
Check the photo rule, children and where to buy
A photo is not needed for a one-day ticket, per the FAQ. Three-day and seven-day tickets carry a photo for identification, so a multi-day pass is personal and cannot be passed around a group.
Children under 12 are exempt from the entrance fee and do not need a ticket, though staff may ask for a passport as proof of age.
The FAQ adds that under-12s cannot climb Angkor Wat's steep Upper Tower, which is open only to visitors aged 12 and over.
Tickets are sold through the official website and the Angkor Pass app, both linked from angkorenterprise.gov.kh. Lost tickets and failed payments go to Angkor Enterprise customer support, which the FAQ lists on +855 63 965 414, daily from 5:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
The FAQ links to the APSARA Authority's visitor code of conduct without summarising it, and that page was not read for this note. Read the code before packing, and plan on modest clothing for temple days.
Add the pass yourself when comparing tour quotes
Operators leave the pass out for two reasons. It keeps the headline price down, and the multi-day passes are personal photo tickets, so the traveller has to be part of the purchase.
Our guide to optional excursions shows how such exclusions change a tour's real price.
For a typical stay with three temple days, the pass adds US$62 per adult as of October 2026. A family of two adults and two children under 12 pays US$124, because the children enter free.
Pay attention to whether prices are quoted in dollars, a topic covered in our note on money on a tour.
Questions to send every operator before paying a deposit:
- Is the Angkor pass included, and which one: one-day, three-day or seven-day?
- Are Beng Mealea, Koh Ker or Kbal Spean on the plan, and are their tickets included?
- How many full temple days does the itinerary contain, counted in days rather than nights?
- Is the guide a licensed Angkor guide or the tour leader?
Plan the Cambodian visa separately
UK government travel advice, checked October 21, 2026, says visitors need a visa, available as an e-visa or on arrival at airports and land borders, and that tourist visas allow 30 days from entry.
A visa on arrival needs a photo and payment in US dollars.
Since September 1, 2024, air arrivals at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville must submit a free electronic arrival card within seven days before arrival, per the same page.
The official Cambodian e-visa site blocked access on October 21, 2026, so no e-visa fee is quoted here; check the official site before travelling.
Most Angkor stays are part of a longer Indochina route. For the Vietnam leg, read our Vietnam entry requirements note on multiple-entry visas, then the Ha Long Bay and Hoi An checklists.
Frequently asked
Is the three-day Angkor pass worth it over a one-day pass?
For two or more temple days, yes. As of October 2026 the three-day pass costs US$62 against US$37 for one day, and two one-day passes would cost US$74. The FAQ also pairs the three-day pass with the Grand Circuit temples.
Do I have to use the Angkor pass on consecutive days?
No. The official ticket page shows the three-day pass expiring seven days after issue and the seven-day pass expiring after 30 days, so temple days can be spread around rest days or a Tonle Sap trip.
Do children need an Angkor pass?
Children under 12 do not, per the Angkor Enterprise FAQ, though staff may ask for a passport to confirm age. Under-12s may not climb the Upper Tower at Angkor Wat.
What time does Angkor open for sunrise?
The official ticket page gives 5:00 AM entry and 6:30 PM closing for the main park, checked October 21, 2026. Outlying sites such as Beng Mealea and Kbal Spean open at 6:00 AM.
Bottom line
Budget US$62 per adult for a standard three-day Siem Reap stay, US$37 for a single day, and US$5 to US$15 for each outlying site. Ask every operator in writing whether the pass is included, then compare quotes on temple days, not nights.
