You arrive before dawn, tuk tuk engine a soft heartbeat beneath the sky. The moat holds the first light like a dark mirror and the central towers of Angkor Wat slice the horizon into a precise silhouette. Your guide steers you to a quieter pool; the air cools, birds circle, and the sun lifts slowly behind stone spikes, turning bas-reliefs into long, living lines.
