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
