Favorite thing: The ticket for Angkor Wat consists in a general pass (valid for everything) for 1, 2/3 days (same price for 2 or for 3 days) or 1 week.
You buy the pass (bring a photo) at the main gate, on the way to Angkor Wat, and show it every time you are required to.

Favorite thing: You'll need a pass to get into the ruins; they are checked at the main entry to the ruins (where you buy it) and at each individual site. There are 3 choices; $20 (US dollars) for a day, $40 for 3 days, and $60 for 7 days. This may seem expensive, but there are a *lot* of ruins; I feel that it was fair value for money, even though I was there for 5 days and splurged on the $60 dollar pass. You'll need a photo for a multi-day pass; they can take one when you buy, but it'll speed things up if you have a spare passport photo with you.
I'd guess that most people will go for the $40 dollar pass - you can see pretty much all you'd need to in 3 days. The $20 one-dayer is fine if it's just Angkor Wat, the Bayon and Ta Prohm you're interested in. As a bonus they seem to stop checking the tickets after 4pm so you should be able to get in for a sunset for free if you come late on your 1st day.

Favorite thing: For those wishing to visit Angkor there are three options: the one day pass (20US$); the three day pass (40US$) and the six day pass (60US$).
Those passes are needed to enter any of the temples in and around Angkor and supervision is strict (no sneaking in).
They require a passport-photo, so you can't share them with a friend.
If you buy them in the evening they will be dated on the next day, so you can get one sunset for free.
Which one you buy will depend on your amount of time and interest in the sites, but one day in Angkor is definitely too short. Personally I found that the three day pass gave me enough time to see everything I wanted.

Favorite thing: General Tip:
Do not lose your one-day pass. THey check it everytime you enter a new temple.
One day pass: -USD20
3-day pass - USD 45 and a photo i.d.
1-week pass - USD 60 and a photo i.d.
Fondest memory: Pounding my chest inside the echo room located in Ta Phrom or Angkor Wat.

Favorite thing: You must pay a fee to enter the temples. 1 day visit is $20. A 3 day pass costs $40. You get the pass just before you enter the park. You need to have a passport picture or they will take one of you there. You must show your pass to park employees when you are in there. There is a fine for not paying. Also after 4pm you can get in free.

Favorite thing: You will need to purchase an entry pass at the check point back on the main road between Siem Reap and Angkor Wat. $20 or 1 day $40 for 3 days or $60 for a 1 week Pass. These are enforced! You will be asked for it before entering many of the surrounding temples too. It is payable in US Currency. You may be aproached my other people trying to sell you a pass in town but there is a good chance that it is not real!! Or they inflate the price of the ticket. You will need 1 passport size photo also.
