Dawn arrives like a slow exhale over the reflecting moat of Angkor Wat; your tuk‑tuk rumbles to life and the driver steers you through a lane where humidity makes stone steam. You move between tree roots that have audaciously reclaimed walls at Ta Prohm, past the calm faces of Bayon watching over the old royal city, and onto terraces carved with elephants and kings — every turn feels like stepping into a ruined chronicle.
