Dave McSeptember 5, 2018If you want to go into the palace, there's a dress-code, so make sure you're not wearing shorts or a tank-top.
Upvoted May 1- Dave McSeptember 5, 2018I waited a really long time and never saw any Kings, Queens, Princesses, etc... I'm not really sure they're inside there.

myaka myakaJanuary 9, 2018nice place to explore, very similar to Bangkok royal palace. make sure to take smth to cover your shoulders and knees - otherwise will need to purchase t-shirt and pants at $3 each on the entrance.

- Simple DiscoveriesJune 30, 2016You can get a ticket for here & the silver pagoda for 25,000KHR. Spend a couple hours & take your time wandering through the complex. Opens at 2pm.
Ashley DandoFebruary 12, 2018A well kept garden with many temples and buildings to wander around. Very hot in the sun and it gets busy.
Caprio RedornFebruary 16, 2017Opening times from 8am to 11am and 2pm till 5pm. Current price is $10 (2/17)
Quentin LafonJuly 26, 2014Nice place to visit. Don't miss the Silver Pagoda, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Royal Palace. A must see !
Ernesto Bioinspired ChemEngDecember 20, 2014The astonishing view of the buildings in a sunny day! Pictures look better than those of national geographic -even if you use your humble phone. http://flic.kr/p/qbjLxD
emily chiewDecember 9, 2018Make sure you wore something longer then you knee pants or dress. No sleeveless too.
Riczel JoyAugust 11, 2014Hello Royal Palace! Just make sure you are not wearing short pants and sleeve less top. U might have the same thing happened to me, look!:-)
Justin Van EmmerikAugust 25, 2012Great photo opportunities bring a camera and relax in the grounds. Beggars outside are annoying and don't give them money donate it to an organization that gets them fed and off the streets.
Nam Nắn NótFebruary 5, 2020Show off the Khmer Ẻmpire history,but its not impress me much,except the Steel House (gift of French Emperor Napoleon III to Cambodia King)
Rielz CheongJanuary 4, 2015Best visit in the Morning to avoid the blazing sun in the afternoon and nicer photos. Only photos of the buildings are allowed. Nothing much thou.
Tâm AngelApril 29, 2015Historic, magnificent palace. Look fancy but too much sun light! Guest only can access a few place shown in the map.- Ernesto Bioinspired ChemEngDecember 20, 2014The astonishing view in a sunny day, under this condition Landscape pictures look better than those of national geographic! http://flic.kr/p/qbjLxD
Mk DMarch 14, 2016Worth the visit and to get an english speaking guide to explain during the tour. Informative guide and fun....:-)
FireUnder AshJanuary 29, 2014Bare shoulders, shorts, mini skirts aren't allowed. A small shop at entrance sell shirt and trousers. Cover yourself if you don't want spend extra money or give up with visit. They are very strict.
Patrick DeveryMay 19, 2014Worth the small expense to get a guide. If they're old enough ask them about the war - fascinating stories- FireUnder AshJanuary 29, 2014Consider that you can see the throne all only from windows without make any pics. And the rest of the buildings are close to public. Remain only a walk in the nice garden. Quite overpriced
GreyJune 13, 2015Architecture is beautiful. You can also be amaze on the number of birds found here.
RAugust 17, 2018Entrance fee is unreasonably high and you'll get to visit only small & limited part of the palace. I don't recommend unless you have nothing else to do and you have some extra money to waste.
Angel DominguezJuly 24, 2013Come right at opening in morning or afternoon to avoid the swarms, although not really worth staying too long or the high admission fee.
Gabie DanaliAugust 18, 2016It's not like Bangkok's palace ,the entrance is 6 dollars and the women's may wearing an t shirt with sleeve.
Natasha DunnJuly 31, 2013Defiantly get a guide to show you through and explain it all to you. Makes it all more with while.
Anna Rigo AllegriAugust 6, 2013It's amazing,really...but half of it's closed plus u can't take pics inside lots of places...damn it!!!
Kai OngMarch 24, 2014Do wear tops with sleeves and long bottoms. You can't get away with wearing a scarf over bare arms.
Sian PeacheyNovember 19, 2012Currently closed for 3 months due to the Kings death! Although this isn't advertised anywhere and Tuk tuk drivers won't tell you :-) Silver Pagoda is open as normal
vitriana nurindahApril 13, 2013if you're on a tight budget, better skip this place. it's worth the price for $3, but not that great to be on in the must visit place.
Kimberley CDecember 15, 2014Visit in the morning. I went at 2pm and got the worst headache afterwards cause of the intense heat!
CLJune 4, 2012Dress code implemented, be prepared to rent t-shirts or itchy long pants if you're not properly dressed.
Mariko AbeNovember 24, 2013Too many tourists to enjoy, cause I couldn't see over their heads. Also if cost me $6.50, not $3. Perhaps tourist season price? Would definitely skip if tight on time or money.

"Entry has gone up to $10. No map provided and audio guide is extra. My latest Lonely Planet said it was $5 so it must have doubled recently. Still a great collection of historical sculptures though."

"We had Mr. Lungdi as our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable. We highly recommend getting yourself a tour guide. A must if you want to learn about Cambodia's not so long ago history."

"Fun place to come at dusk for some neat photos. Not too sure about cost to enter, but outside is a nice mall area that is great for people watching!"
