Getting There

Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Siem Reap. Head southwest on National Road 6 (NR6) towards Angkor Wat. After approximately 6 km, turn left onto the road leading to Angkor Archaeological Park. Continue on this road for about 8 km until you reach the entrance of the park. You will need to purchase an Angkor Pass at the entrance, which costs $37 for a one-day ticket. After obtaining your pass, follow the signs to Angkor Thom and then to the Angkor Sunset view point located at FVMF+JG7. The view is particularly stunning near the West Baray, so keep an eye out for signs indicating the sunset viewpoint.
-
Tuk-Tuk
For a more local experience, consider hiring a tuk-tuk. You can find tuk-tuks in various places around Siem Reap, such as outside your hotel or at popular tourist spots. Negotiate the fare before starting your journey; a round trip to Angkor Sunset view typically costs around $15-$20. The driver will take you through the Angkor Archaeological Park, where you will also need to purchase an Angkor Pass for $37. Enjoy the ride and the scenery as you make your way to the sunset viewpoint, located at FVMF+JG7.
-
Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, look for a shared taxi or van service at the Siem Reap bus station. These services often head towards Angkor and can drop you off near the entrance. The cost is usually about $5-$10 per person. Once you arrive at the entrance of Angkor Archaeological Park, you will need to buy an Angkor Pass for $37. From the entrance, you can either walk (which is not recommended due to the distance) or hire a tuk-tuk to take you to the Angkor Sunset view located at FVMF+JG7.
