On the second day, we bought the one-day pass at USD 20. A photograph was taken and we had to keep the pass with us at all times. It was subject to checks at the temple entrance. A hole was punched at the checkpoint. The visiting hours is from 5.30AM to 5.30PM. We can visit all the temples except KULEN mountain and BENGMEALEA Temple. A three-day pass cost USD 40 (any 3 days in a week) and a seven-day pass cost USD 60 (any 7 days in a month).
We visited four temples - Ta Prohm Temple, Banteay Srei Temple, Bayon Temple and Ang Kor Wat. (Side note : Siem Reap is not just about Ang Kor Wat).
Ta Prohm Temple was built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara. It is located approximately one kilometre east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray. It was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found.
