Our experience: • Short route (1 day): $20 USD • Long route (2nd day): $30 USD • Sunrise at Angkor Wat: $10 USD Our driver spoke English, was extremely friendly, and provided unlimited cold water, which was a lifesaver in the Cambodian heat. Don’t forget to tip your driver! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎟️ Angkor Wat Entrance Tickets (Angkor Pass) • 1-day pass: $37 USD • 3-day pass: $62 USD • 7-day pass: $72 USD Tickets can be purchased online to skip long queues: https://www.angkorenterprise.gov.kh/ You’ll need a passport and a photo for the ticket, and passes are checked throughout the park. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛕 Angkor Wat Short Route (1 Day Highlights) If you only have one day in Angkor, this route covers the main temples: • Angkor Wat main temple • Ta Prohm (the famous “Tomb Raider” temple) • Bayon with its iconic stone faces • Baphuon • Terrace of the Elephants • Victory Gate • Sunset at Phnom Bakheng ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛕 Angkor Wat Long Route (Highly Recommended) Includes everything from the short route plus several additional temples: • Pre Rup • East Mebon • Ta Som • Neak Pean • Preah Khan • Sunrise at Angkor Wat 🌅 This route gives you more temples, more time, and a less rushed experience. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍴 Food Inside Angkor Archaeological Park There are several restaurants inside the complex. Prices are slightly higher than in Siem Reap but still reasonable. Most drivers will stop for lunch and a short break before continuing the tour. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ Tips for Visiting Angkor Wat • The best experience is spending at least 2 days exploring the temples. • Don’t miss sunrise at Angkor Wat — it’s one of the most beautiful sights in the world. • Spend an evening exploring Pub Street in Siem Reap for food, markets, and nightlife. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📍 Temples and Locations Featured in This Video • Rainbow Bridge • Outer Walls of Angkor Wat • Terrace of Honor • Angkor Wat Main Temple • The Bakan Sanctuary • Angkor Wat Eastern Gate • Ta Prohm Temple • Bayon Temple • Baphuon Temple • Terrace of the Elephants • Victory Gate • Phnom Bakheng Hill & Temple • Pub Street in Siem Reap • Pre Rup Temple • East Mebon Temple • Ta Som Temple • Neak Pean Temple • Preah Khan Temple • Sunrise at Angkor Wat ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📷 My Instagram Instagram: @itsadamspandel (www.instagram.com/itsadamspandel) 💳 Great Travel card Wise - https://wise.com/invite/ihpc/adammich... 💳 AMEX Travel Credit Card - https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/ref... 🌍 Best esim - https://saily.onelink.me/ymzx/referrals , use my code ADAMET8478 Use my code ADAMET8478 during checkout to get USD 5 off! #angkorwat #siemreap #cambodia #angkortravel #temples #angkorwattemple
