Extra Angkor Temples Info (Queues, Duration, and Hotspots)

Now, let's see how much time you need for the tour of the Angkor Archaeological Park, do you have to wait in line to buy a ticket, and else.

How Long Do I Need to Wait in Line to Buy a Pass?

Well, that depends. A rough estimation is that you would have to queue 30 minutes tops, in general. But, how long lines tend to be typically comes down to the following factors:

• The queues at the Angkor ticket offices are the longest in the morning (around 5:00). And, the famed Angkor Wat sunrises are the main reason for that.
• Next, you are likely to wait shorter if you buy the 7-day card at the assigned booth. Although most counters sell 1-day and 3-day tickets, the majority of tourists are after these sightseeing passes.
• Finally, consider taking a short ride from Siem Reap to the Angkor ticket office in the evening. These are open until 17:30, and you are highly likely to have a hassle-free purchase. And tomorrow, you go straight to the Angkor temples whatever the time.

How Much Time to Plan for Visiting the Archaeological Park?

Honestly, you would want to allocate as much time as you can to visit Angkor Wat and other temples. And here's why:

• There are many attractions scattered throughout the archaeological locality. In that regard, the most famous Angkor temples—those we mentioned—are only the tip of an iceberg. And for one day, you can expect to visit Angkor Wat and an additional main landmark or two at most.
• Next, air temperatures usually rise over 86°F (30°C) in the afternoon regardless of the season. Hence, it wouldn't be a surprise if you wish to spend the early afternoon back in Siem Reap with a refreshing drink at hand. And for good measure, it tends to rain (and heavily, at that) during the afternoon or evening from April to October.
• So, allow at least three days for a "quick tour." As for seven days, you can explore the masterpieces of Khmer medieval architecture and other spots at leisure.
