Free Angkor Temple Visits

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Why do I have this feeling there has to be a catch?

Because it's so weird? It's not often get any benefits for being around a while.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

But is it a free ticket for one visit per year, or apply once a year for a free ticket for the whole year?

It's a brilliant idea.
The people whom have businesses inside the part are really suffering.
At least if people start going, they will buy drinks and food and other items (hopefully) from the sellers in the park.
They will share photos on social media which will hopefully encourage other tourists.

I can imagine there is great rejoicing amongst the expats in Siem Reap, they will all be able to cycle out to Angkor Wat in the afternoons to enjoy the sunset out there.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

On weekends and the many public holidays, the temples are busy with Khmer tourists. So the sellers are doing OK, but they're not getting customers to pay over the odds!
The tour guides are getting no business.

The wording isn't too clear on that. It could mean you can only visit once a year?

Aha, the catch. I just cannot figure out why on earth they would want to do this.
