Below are the questions our guests actually ask us, answered the way we'd answer a friend. Every price, hour, and logistic on this page was checked against the current situation in Siem Reap in April 2026. If you have a question we haven't covered, message us on WhatsApp and we'll add it.
Yes. Cambodia is a safe country for tourists, and Siem Reap in particular is one of the calmest cities in Southeast Asia. In 318 reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, "felt safe" appears in roughly one in four, and it's the single most common theme after "highly recommend."
Use the same common sense you'd use anywhere: watch your bag in busy night-market areas, don't leave a phone on a restaurant table, keep a photo of your passport on your phone. Violent crime against tourists is rare. If something feels off, tell us and we'll help on the spot.

Yes, and kids often love it more than adults do. Cambodian culture is warm toward children, our guides are family-run themselves, and the pace of a private tour can flex around naps, meals, and the "I want to sit down" moment. The Angkor Pass is free for children under 12 (passport required as proof of age), and most hotels can provide cribs, high chairs, and connecting rooms.
On tour vehicles: our e-bikes require a minimum height of 110 cm and that the child can already ride a bicycle. Vespas can carry a small child as a lap ride with a parent in specific conditions (ask us, we'll advise based on the route). For young families, the Jeep is the most comfortable option.
Most outlets accept Type A (US flat-pin), Type C (European round-pin), and Type G (UK three-pin). Voltage is 230V, 50Hz. A universal adapter covers every situation. Power cuts are rare in Siem Reap; most hotels have backup generators.
Less than Thailand, more than Vietnam, and quality varies hugely by what you pick. A good mid-range day in Siem Reap runs roughly:
A bottle of water is $0.50 from a shop and $2 to $3 in a hotel. Tipping is appreciated but not expected.
No, use bottled or filtered water. This applies to drinking, brushing your teeth, and rinsing after brushing. All reputable hotels provide bottled water in the room, and most refill free through the day if you ask. Ice in bars and restaurants tourists go to is made from filtered water and is fine.
A hat, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen round it out. Evenings can feel cool on a Vespa or Jeep ride, so a light layer is worth packing.
US dollars. Almost every price in Siem Reap, from hotels to tuk-tuks to temple tickets, is quoted in USD. Cambodian Riel (KHR) is used for change under $10. The rate is stable: 1 USD = 4,000 Riel.
ATMs dispense both USD and Riel. Bring crisp, clean US bills, torn or heavily marked notes get refused. Riel cannot be exchanged outside Cambodia, so spend what's in your wallet before flying home. Full breakdown in our Cambodia currency guide.
If you've booked a tour with us, tell us your flight number and we'll arrange the transfer. Full airport details at the Siem Reap airport guide.
For a first visit, stay in town. Siem Reap's center is walkable, full of restaurants and markets, and every major tour picks up from town hotels. Resorts outside of town are beautiful but mean a transfer every time you leave. If you're on your second or third Cambodia trip and want quiet, then consider a countryside property. Happy to recommend specific hotels based on your style, see our premium hotel picks.
Very close. The Angkor ticket booth is about 4 km from the center of Siem Reap. Angkor Wat itself is about 6 km from town, 15 minutes by tuk-tuk or car. The full Small Circuit stretches to around 17 km from town at its furthest point. You don't need to move hotels to visit the temples.
Three options, all per person:
Buy online at angkorenterprise.gov.kh. This is the official channel. Do not buy from third-party websites, some are scams. Tickets issued after 5:00 PM are valid for the next day.
Not legally. Practically, the difference is significant. The bas-reliefs at Angkor Wat tell the stories of Hindu epics in stone; without a guide explaining them, they're beautiful carvings. With a guide, they become a narrative you remember. Our guides are Cambodian, Siem Reap-based, and every tour is private (never shared with strangers). See the full tour list.
November to February is peak: cool, dry, popular, book early. March to May is hot (can exceed 38°C) but emptier. June to October is the green season: afternoon rain, dramatic skies, lush countryside, and the temples at their most photogenic. Each season has its case, we'll be honest about the tradeoffs when you book.
Important: many websites still publish COVID-era hours (7:30 AM to 5:30 PM). The schedule below is current and locally verified.
Quick answer:
For the full 2026 temple-by-temple schedule (all 26 sites across Small Circuit, Grand Circuit, and sunrise/sunset spots, with dates, reigns, and styles), see our Angkor temple opening hours 2026 guide.
There are hundreds of temples in the Angkor complex, nobody sees them all. A reasonable visit looks like this:
Most first-time visitors are fine with a 1 or 3-day pass. If you want depth over breadth, 3 days with a private guide beats 7 days without one.
Yes, and most longer trips do. Common additions:
Message us on WhatsApp (+855 12 438 230) with your dates, group size, and what you're hoping to see. We'll come back with a plan within 24 hours. Every tour is private and adjusted around your pace, so there's no "off-the-shelf" option that has to fit everyone.
