Percentage of hiked Angkor Wat entry fees to fund kids hospitals

The management authority at Angkor Archaeological Park has announced it is to start donating a portion of visitor entry income to children’s hospitals. The Angkor Institution says it will start donating to Kantha Bopha hospitals as soon as an increase in admission fees comes into effect next year.

A spokesperson told local reporters the institution would allocate US$2 from every ticket sold to funding Kantha Bopha. The five hospitals in the group are located in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. They provide free care and treatment for Cambodian children which is mostly funded by benefactors from Switzerland at present.  

The entry fees for Cambodia’s primary historical site and tourism draw are set to go up on 1 February 2017. The cost of a one-day pass will rise from US$20 to US$37, a three-day ticket from US$40 to US$62 and a seven-day one from US$60 to US$72.

The scores of temples and edifices which make up the Angkor complex are up to 1,100 years old. The main gateway to the complex is just outside the town of Siem Reap and 300kms from Phnom Penh. 12GO ASIA is the best choice when buying travel tickets for this route.
