Waking up for sunrise at 4.30am and reach Angkor around 5am. Getting ready to view the sunrise like a movie show with thousands of tourist.
Angkor Wat, such a magnificent wonder of the world! Kinda cant believe my eyes that i've finally here at Angkor. During the school ages, i still remember reading about it in history books and now, finally step my foot here at Angkor! Amazing! We took a tour van and guide there (which is kinda expensive) i dont recommend that at all to all the backpackers. It cost us USD40 for the transport and USD35 for the guide. Nahh.. u can skip that and take a tut-tut for USD7/day ONLY! When we reach the entrance, you have to buy your tickets at the ticketing office where they took your photo via web cam and printed it on the ticket. Cool!

My first sunrise of Angkor Wat
My second take on sunrise at Angkor Wat
Carvings,
Some interesting statue
and we were lucky to stumble upon a group of monks who came from somewhere else to visit the temple, managed to get a shot of them..
We went to few different temples, and another magnificient one were the Bayon, the temple with many faces! It was really cool to be there and amazed by the carvings and build of the temple.

Lastly, we hike up Bakheng Hill to watch the sunset of Angkor Wat. Sadly, there's no great sunset at all.. the only thing we are able to see were the Angkor Wat temple. It's an amazing sight, worth hiking up there. There's a catch, just leave you're tripod at the hotel or car, cause you're not allowed to use tripod up there.
