Morning humidity clings to the tuk‑tuk as it pulls away from a Siem Reap guesthouse; limestone temples loom against a blue that feels almost hot enough to touch. On a private deluxe tour you set the pace — sunrise at Angkor Wat, a quiet circuit through Ta Prohm’s root‑tangled corridors, or the high, pine‑kissed air of Phnom Kulen where a carved riverbed and two‑tier falls demand respect.
