Almost of hotels are located in central Town of Siem Reap. There are none within the Archaeological park of Siem Reap. With the exception of Roluos group thirteen km east, the most important temples in the area lay 4 to 15km north of Siem Reap town, the closest being Angkor Vat. To visit the temples you will need to decide how long want to stay, and buy an admission pass (for visit Archaeological Park), arrange transportation and obtain a guidebook or tour guide. We recommence to find a travel agency for arrange your trip, in Cambodia there are many travel agencies.
PARK ADMISSION (entree fee of Angkor Archaeological Park)
You must possess an admission pass to visit all the temples and sites in the Angkor Archaeological Park. All passes can purchase at the main road toward to Angkor Vat Temple. Passes are sold in one-day costing (US$20), three-day costing ($40) and seven-day ($60) blocks. The three day pass is valid for one week, i.e. 3 days to be used within the week, not necessarily consecutively. The seven day pass is valid for one month, i.e. 7 days to be used within the month, not necessarily consecutively. A one-day visit allows you to see highlights of the most famous ruins but little more. Three days is sufficient to visit all of the major temples, a few of the minor ones and have a little extra time for favorites. Seven days is enough to really explore some of your favorites and visit many minor structures as well.
The admissions office opens at 5:00AM. Archaeological Park visiting hours are from 5:30AM - sunset. Banteay Srey closes at 5:00PM and Kbal Speanat closes at 3:00PM. Always bring ticket with you. It will be checked upon each park entry and at major temples. A regular admission ticket is not required to visit Koh Ker, Beng Melea and Phnom Kulen, but there are separate entrance fees of $20, $10 and $5, respectively.
WHAT TO BRING Visit in Cambodia
Dress for a tropical environment - warm, humid, sunny. Wear light, airy, covering clothing to protect from the sun and mosquitoes. The sun can be intense so bring a hat with you, sunglasses and sunscreen. Consider buying a traditional Khmer scarf (krama) to keep the sun off your neck. Carry a raincoat during the wet season (May-October,) though you will probably only need it in the afternoon. You should have mosquito repellent for sunrise and sunset hours. Wear practical shoes for climbing narrow steps and walking on uneven surfaces. For serious temple explorers, a flashlight, notebook and compass can come in handy. Books, refreshments, water, trinkets and snacks are available from small vendors throughout the Park.
TRANSPORTATION IN CAMBODIA
The temples are far to make foot travel practical (though some hearty visitors are hiking it anyway). Transportation options include: two-person tuk-tuks (moto-romauk) average $10-$15 per day; car taxis $20-$30/day; motorcycle taxi (motodup) for $8-$10/day; bicycles for $2-$3/day. To avoid misunderstandings, you should negotiate the details of the driver’s services carefully - ask exact price, what time you expect the day to begin and end, availability during lunch and evening hours, limitations on your itinerary, different prices for small/large circuits, etc.
There are always additional fees for transport to distant temples off the main circuits (e.g. Koh Ker, Phnom Kulen, Kbal spean and Banteay Srey.) Negotiate the price with your driver. Bicycling around the temples has become quite popular. If you have the time to spare, the roads are good, the terrain is flat and the distances are about right.
