If you want to see sunrise at Angkor Wat Temple, you need to get up early at 5AM. As you know that Angkor Wat temple was built in 1113 - 1150 AD by King Suryavarman and it measures 330 metres by 260 metres. Angkor Wat has three levels with 5 main towers. Angkor Wat has become the national symbol of Cambodia and is even found on the nation’s flag as it symbolises the soul of the country.
Next we move to Angkor Thom City such as South Gate of Angkor Thom city, and the popular Bayon temple. Bayon is famous for the many faces which always seem to be looking right at you! Bayon was built in the 13th century. And then The Elephant Terrace, Ta Prohm temple which is one of the most famous temples in the park. It was built in the mid 12th to early 13th century and was originally used as a Buddhist monastery and university. Nowadays, it’s more famous for its appearance in Tomb Raider.

Hi @Thom-San , The shot of your sunrise is nice. Thanks for the nice shot! I think it would’ve been more appropriate for you to merged your post with How is sunrise and sunset in your city? topic because it fits better there. Thank you.

Hello @apaloo_daniel , well sunrise and sunset in Siem Reap City is great. With the great location is at the temple such as Angkor Wat temple great place for sunrise and sunset as well. Moreover, sunset at Tonle Sap lake or Phnom Krom Mountain with a temple there and if you want to visit here drop me the line. I can bring you around.
@Thom-San I really do like your shot captioned “Sunrise at Angkor Wat Temple” due to the reflection of the temple in the nearby water body. I’m only suggesting to you to have posted it under a much more appropriate thread “ How is sunrise and sunset in your city? ”where more Local Guides can appreciate it. Thank you.
