🎉 Quick-fire answer
Yes — to stand in Lara Croft’s famous footsteps at Ta Prohm (“the Tomb Raider temple”) you’ll need an Angkor Pass, the same ticket that covers Angkor Wat, Bayon, and the entire Angkor Archaeological Park. There’s no separate ticket just for Ta Prohm.

🌟 Pro-tips for an epic Ta Prohm adventure
- Go early – Gates open at 07 : 30, but arriving right at 07 : 00 lets you beat the crowds gathering outside.
- Mind the roots – Those legendary strangler-fig and silk-cotton trees create slippery mossy paths; sturdy shoes rule.
- Dress temple-ready – Shoulders & knees covered; light fabrics keep you cool.
- Carry your pass at all times – Random checkpoints can fine you if it’s not on hand.
- Budget extras – Tuk-tuk day hire (~US $15–20), licensed guide (~US $35+), cold coconuts (priceless!).
🚀 Bottom line
Grab that Angkor Pass, flash it with pride, and stride into Ta Prohm like the action hero you are! With temple roots twisting sky-high and jungle vibes turned up to eleven, your Tomb Raider moment is just a ticket away. Have an absolutely legendary time out there! 🙌🛕🌿
