You stand at the shallow pool in front of Angkor Wat before sunrise, the stones cooling from the night and the sky bruising from dark to orange. The reflection shivers as the first light finds the central tower; your English-speaking guide checks the route while the driver warms the air-conditioned car. Over two compact days you move from dawn crowds at Angkor Wat to quieter galleries and laterite terraces where roots and ruins argue for space.
