Cambodia and Angkor Wat – Tailored to Your Needs

Are you planning a trip through Cambodia or a visit to Angkor Wat? Do you want to travel according to your own preferences without being part of a large tour group? Then exploring the country independently is a great option. But how do you get from one place to another? Especially when visiting a country for the first time, it’s normal to feel a bit uncertain about local conditions.

The easiest and most flexible way to travel is with a private driver – someone who knows the area well and can take you wherever you want to go.

At this point, I’d like to give a small recommendation for my driver Sophara, who was a reliable companion during my time in Cambodia. He was always polite, drove safely, and fully adapted to my individual needs and plans.

After checking with Sophara, you’re welcome to contact him directly in English – he’ll be happy to hear from you.

The routes described in this article are meant as suggestions. Of course, you can also share your own ideas and preferences with him. For more details about visiting the Angkor Wat temples, check out our travel guide or photo gallery.

Entrance Fee Angkor Wat Park

 

 

The entrance fees for Angkor Wat are not exactly cheap and are relatively high compared to other destinations in Asia. Tickets must be purchased at the official Angkor Enterprise ticket office. They are personalized and non-transferable.

After payment, you’ll receive a pass with your photo printed on it (the photo is taken directly at the counter, so you don’t need to bring one).

Important: Make sure your photo on the pass is clearly visible and of good quality. This can save you a lot of trouble. Your pass will be checked every time you enter the park and at individual temples. I had issues myself because my photo quality was poor – so definitely pay attention to this!

  • 1 Tages Pass: $37.-
  • 3 Tages Pass: $62
  • 7 Tages Pass $72.-

You can check the latest prices on the official Angkor Enterprise website.

If you’ve booked a tuk-tuk driver or a private car, they will easily take you to the ticket office. However, be prepared for waiting times – queues can get quite long, especially during peak hours.
