You step from the tuk-tuk into a wide moat that still smells faintly of wet stone and lotus; the five towers of Angkor Wat rise like a carved mountain against a clear sky. The driver leaves you with a map, bottle of cold water and the day to move at your own pace—exploring causeways, bas-reliefs and shaded galleries without a guide’s timetable.
