$55–75 for the classics6 paid · 0 freeFly into SAICambodia runs on US dollars ~ carry small billsOpen in Google Maps

Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor, the largest religious monument on earth. One pass covers the whole temple complex, so your budget is really just the pass plus a tuk-tuk driver for the day.

Bring $55–75

This assumes a 3-day Angkor pass plus tuk-tuk drivers ~ a single-day pass drops it to about $50.
