We left our hotel at 5:15 am to get to Angkor Wat for sunrise. Why so early? Because Angkor Wat is the biggest, most famous temple that looks incredible as the sun rises. We snuck in the back way, in the dark with flashlights through the jungle to avoid all the crowds that show up at sunrise.
The Buddhist monk drums started beating. The sun rose. We sat and nearly understood the mix of Hindu and Buddhist spirituality that drove the King to build Angkor Wat back into a huge, dominating kingdom in the 12th century.
