The day begins before the sun has fully warmed the cracked laterite and sandstone of Angkor—cool air and the sound of distant bicycles set the pace as a small convoy slips through the park gates. Walkways lead past reflection pools where early light sharpens bas-reliefs; the stone seems to hold its own history like a patient witness.
