During this year’s annual trip home to Malaysia, we decided to make a side trip to visit Cambodia. We spent 2 nights in Phnom Penh and 3 nights in Siem Reap. More pictures will follow, but here are some sunset and sunrise photos at the temples of the Ankor Archeological Park.
For those of you interested in visiting Angkor Wat, keep in mind that you should buy your ticket the day before you intend to visit. This is because, starting 5pm the day before, you can enter the area using tomorrow’s ticket to view the sunset, at no charge. This is great especially for us because we wanted to only spend a day at Angkor. So we got in the evening before to see the sunset, then continued the next morning at 5am to view the sunrise and spent the rest of the day visiting other temples in the area. We were done with Angkor by about 2pm that day. Doing a full day (sunrise to sunset on the same day) is not advisable, because it too tiring, and during the summer months, its best to skip the blazing sun during mid-late afternoon and retreat to your hotel instead.
Next morning, about 5:40am at Angkor Wat…..
