Visitor guides to five Angkor temples near Siem Reap, all on the Angkor Pass (from $37 for one day), with each temple's own opening hours.
The five temples below sit in the Angkor Archaeological Park outside Siem Reap, and one Angkor Pass covers all of them: $37 for one day, $62 for three days used within 7 days, or $72 for seven days used within 30 days, sold by Angkor Enterprise. Each temple keeps its own hours inside the park's 5:00 AM to 6:30 PM pass window, so check the guide for the one you plan to see first. Each guide gives that temple's hours, what the pass covers and how to reach it.
Angkor Wat is a 12th-century temple complex in the Angkor Archaeological Park outside Siem Reap and the largest religious monument in the world, on a site of 162.6 hectares. Built by King Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple to Vishnu, it later became a Buddhist temple and is still an active religious site. Entry is on the Angkor Pass (from $37 for one day), and the temple is open daily from 5:00 AM to 5:30 PM according to Angkor Enterprise.

The Bayon is the richly decorated state temple of King Jayavarman VII, built in the late 12th or early 13th century at the exact centre of his capital, Angkor Thom. It is famous for the serene, smiling stone faces carved on the towers of its upper terrace and for two galleries of bas-reliefs mixing battles, daily life and mythology. Entry is covered by the Angkor Pass ($37 for one day), and Angkor Enterprise lists the temple open 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

Ta Prohm is a late-12th-century Buddhist temple in the Angkor Archaeological Park near Siem Reap, about 1 km east of Angkor Thom. It is famous for the giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees growing out of its ruins, which conservators deliberately left in place, and it appeared in the 2001 film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Entry is with the Angkor Pass (from $37 for one day), and Ta Prohm is included on the 1-day Small Circuit.

Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva, built largely of red sandstone and known for its unusually fine, deeply cut carvings, which earned it the name 'jewel of Khmer art'. It lies near Phnom Dei hill, about 25 km north-east of the main Angkor temple group, and entry is covered by the Angkor Pass (Angkor Temples Park ticket). Angkor Enterprise lists its opening hours as 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

Preah Khan is a 12th-century Buddhist temple in the Angkor Archaeological Park, built for King Jayavarman VII to honor his father and set northeast of Angkor Thom beside the Jayatataka baray. Like nearby Ta Prohm it has been left largely unrestored, with large trees growing among its galleries. Entry is on the Angkor Pass ($37 for one day), and Angkor Enterprise lists the temple open 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
Visitor guide →Angkor Wat, the Bayon and Ta Prohm are on the Small Circuit, and Preah Khan lies northeast of Angkor Thom. Banteay Srei is approximately 25–30 km northeast of Siem Reap and has its own satellite ticket counter. The temples are spread across the park rather than within walking distance of each other, so visitors go by tuk-tuk, private car or tour; each guide covers getting there.
