The day begins before daylight, the driver arriving at your hotel as the road cools and the first pale light finds the lotus-filled moat of Angkor Wat. You step into a vehicle tailored to your pace and interests—temple walks measured by curiosity rather than a timetable, rice-field detours that slow the speedometer, and a boat ride across Tonle Sap when the water calls.
