Insider Tips

  • Buy a 3-day Angkor pass (~$62) — one day isn't enough to see the major temples
  • Hire a tuk-tuk driver for the full Angkor day (~$20) instead of joining a tour group
  • Sunrise at Angkor Wat is iconic but crowded; sunrise at Srah Srang is empty and just as beautiful
  • Dress modestly — covered shoulders and knees — at all temples or you'll be turned away
