Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour






This is the first time lapse video I've taken.

I highly recommend taking a sunrise tour of the Angkor Wat. And here are some of the reasons why should you consider doing this.

  • It can get very hot in Siem Reap that you can feel like you're having a fever when the hot wind blows in the afternoon. So it's best to start your tour when it's not yet that hot.
  • You can take really nice silhouette photos of the Angkor Wat.
  • The Angkor Archaeological Park is really huge so starting early is best. 
Here are some tips when you take this tour:
  • Make sure to leave your hotel very early. It's about a 30 or 40-minute ride on a tuktuk.
  • If your tuktuk driver says he'll pick you up at 5:00 am, make sure you're ready by 5:00 am.
  • There are thousands of tourists wanting to do the tour and vying for a good spot to take photos or videos of the sunrise, that's why it pays to be early to avoid long queues at the ticketing center and to get a good spot for taking that perfect photo or video.
  • I feel the best place for that perfect photo is by the pond so you get really nice silhouette shots with the Angkor reflected on the water.
