Before dawn the moat holds a slate-black mirror and the silhouette of Angkor Wat slices the sky like a carved shadow. Your e-bike hums to life as headlamps pick out the stone causeway; the air is cool, thick with incense and the distant cry of morning birds. You arrive with the light, the temple turning from ink to gold, and for a few quiet minutes the ruins and the rising sun trade places in the reflection.
