Angkor park admission

You must possess an admission pass to visit the
Park. All passes can be purchased at the main
entrance on the road to Angkor Wat.
Passes are sold in one-day ($20), three-day ($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 suf-
ficient 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. Park visiting
hours are 5:30AM - sunset. Banteay Srey closes at
5:00PM and  Kbal Spean at 3:00PM. Always carry
your ticket. It will be checked upon each park entry

and at major temples. A regular admission tick-
et is not required to visit Phnom Kulen, Koh Ker
or Beng Melea, but there are separate entrance
fees of $20, $10 and $5, respectively.

Cambodia Weather and Climate

Practically speaking, Cambodia has four seasons:

1) December-February, cool and dry; 2) March-May, hot and dry,
3) June-August, hot and rainy; 4) September-November, cool and diminishing rain.
As we go to print in May the hot season has well begun and the monsoon rains are due to start in a month or so. Currently days are mostly rainless and quite warm with mid-day temperatures averaging in the in the mid/upper-30s.

The monsoon rains, when they begin, generally follow a fairly regular pattern with clear mornings and mid-days, and 1-3 hour rains in the mid-late afternoon, making them fairly easy to plan your day around. The monsoon rains ordinarily trickle off by the end of October or beginning of November.
Though cool-dry season is considered the most comfortable time of year, the monsoon season
has its advantages for the temple visitor. The countryside and temples of Angkor are particular-
ly picturesque with their moats and pools full, the vegetation is green and lush. The colors in the wet temple stone stands much brighter and more apparent when wet.
