Photo by allPhoto Bangkok on Unsplash

A week in Siem Reap gives the Angkor temples room to breathe. It starts with Angkor Wat at sunrise and Ta Prohm, then Angkor Thom, Banteay Srei and the Grand Circuit temples. The last three days leave the main park for the Tonlé Sap floating village, Phnom Kulen and Beng Mealea, and finish in town with the national museum, the Old Market and the Phare circus.

Siem Reap questions

How many days do you need for Angkor Wat?

Three days covers the main temples; a week lets you add the outlying sites without rushing. The 7-day Angkor pass costs about 72 US dollars and can be used on any seven days within a month.

Do you need to book Angkor temple tickets ahead?

Tickets are purchased at the main gate on arrival. Start before 7 a.m. to skip the longest lines.

What is the best way to reach Tonle Sap floating villages?

Hire a tuk-tuk or driver for the 15-kilometer trip to Kampong Phluk. Round-trip transport plus boat costs about 25 dollars per person.

Do you need a guide for the Angkor temples?

A licensed guide for half a day runs 30 to 40 dollars and speeds up navigation at large sites. Book one in advance through the tourism office if you want fixed timing.
