Is Siem Reap worth visiting?

Solo travel

Angkor Wat is truly amazing. Here are a few tips: Hiring a tuk-tuk driver isn't the same as renting a guide who accompanies you around Angkor Wat. Tuk-tuk drivers will drop you off on one side of the temple and meet up with you on the other side when you're done. During the day, I hired a tuk-tuk driver who transported me between temples, and then I toured by myself, but there are plenty of guides around each temple if you need someone. There's only one place where you can buy entrance into Angkor Wat, and that's the Official Angkor Ticket Center. Don't buy tickets or tours from unauthorized individuals; this is the only place where you can purchase them. Your driver can take you to the ticket office on the day you want to enter the park. However, if you want to see the sunrise, you need to buy your tickets the day before, after 16:00. If you buy your ticket after 4 p.m., you can enter for free that day to admire the sunset. I highly recommend the sunrise because it's spectacular, but it requires a lot of preparation. Angkor Wat tickets are sold for one, three, or seven days. I truly believe that you need more than one day to see the whole park, especially if you want to see both the sunrise and the sunset. Therefore, we bought tickets for 3 days, valid for any 3 days within 10 days of the first visit. Bring mosquito repellent, sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and lots of water. The temples are outdoors and in the middle of a forest, so you need to be well-prepared for the day. Show respect. Angkor Wat isn't just an archaeological site, but also a temple, and they won't let you into some of the temples if you don't cover your shoulders and knees. You're also not allowed to smoke here.
