It's safe to be alone: ​​my trip to Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Siem Reap, located in northern Cambodia today, is the destination of all visitors to Angkor Wat, which was listed as one of the World Cultural Heritage Sites by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1992
Angkor wat is the capital and temple of the Khmer Kingdom from the 9th to the 15th century, which can be divided into Angkor Wat, Angkor City, Bayon Temple, and Queen's Palace.

Before setting off, I watched the BBC to do my homework and found that after the mid-13th century, after the retreat of the King of Angkor, the city was abandoned and later submerged in the jungle.

The area of ​​Angkor is close to 3,000 square kilometers, so even if you buy a 3 day pass, you can't finish it.

The recommended trip must have to see the sunrise and sunset, about 4:30 pm, to Bakken Mountain about 5 pm, then you can enter Angkor Wat and wait to see the beautiful sunset, then 4 am to get out of the car, arrive at Little Angkor, find a beautiful place to wait to see the sunrise

I volunteered for two weeks from Phnom Penh, then set off to Angkor Wat for the first time on this mini-plane, which probably only has a few dozen seats, but the inland tickets are not cheap at all.
During the trip, I met the tuk tuk driver Ming, Ming is a tuk for a living, but enough to support a family of 5. Of course, the most profitable is chartered three days to visit Angkor City. Ming is fluent in English.
