Straight answers to common Angkor Wat questions about tickets, dress, sunrise, transport, guides, children and timing.
Do I need a ticket?
Yes. Visitors need the appropriate Angkor pass for the archaeological park.
Can I visit without a guide?
Yes. A guide is optional, though useful for historical context.
What should I wear?
Dress respectfully with shoulders and knees covered for temple areas.
How many days do I need?
One day covers highlights, while three days gives a much better sense of the wider complex.
My practical answer
If you are unsure, prioritize comfort, early starts and fewer temples rather than trying to see everything.
