Visitors to Cambodia who plan to visit the famed UNESCO listed Angkor Archaeological Park will not be able to do so for FREE. This is not new, however, since there has always been an Angkor Wat Admission Fee for several years now.

While Cambodians are free to visit the complex, tourists are checked for their tickets as soon as they alight the entrances to each of the temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park.
