Ta Som is one of the smaller and quieter temples in the Angkor archeological park. Not to be missed are the faces carved in stone atop the east and west outer gates.

 

As with all temples in the Angkor area, you’ll need to buy a pass from the official online store: https://www.angkorenterprise.gov.kh/en. There are other ways to purchase, but we decided this was the quickest and easiest.

We hired a Tuk-Tuk driver to take us to various temples over three days. We started late, after a delicious breakfast at our hotel: FCC Angkor. Then, returned early afternoon to relax by the pool.

We visited Preah Khan, Neak Pean and Ta Som in the same day. Tuk Tuk cost in February 2026 US$20 – more than previous days as these temples are a bit further away. I’d recommend following the same route as we did.
