Car
If you are driving, head towards the Angkor Archaeological Park from Siem Reap city center. The entrance to the park is located about 6-7 km from the city center. You will need to purchase an Angkor Pass at the entrance gate. The cost is $37 for a one-day pass and it is valid for entry to Ta Prohm Temple and other nearby temples. After passing through the entrance, continue on the main road until you see signs for Ta Prohm Temple. The temple is approximately 1 km from the main road.

Tuk-Tuk
Hiring a tuk-tuk is a popular and convenient way to visit Ta Prohm Temple. You can easily find tuk-tuk drivers in Siem Reap.

Public Bus

Once you arrive at the entrance, you will still need to arrange transportation (like a tuk-tuk) to get to Ta Prohm Temple, which is about 1 km inside the park. Keep in mind that this option may not be the most convenient due to limited schedules and the need for multiple transfers.

From the city center, follow the road signs leading to the Angkor Archaeological Park. It’s about a 6-7 km ride to the park entrance.
