Phnom Bakeng

This is the place to be for sunset if you are visiting the Angkor Wat area. I did the climb up the mountain to find a rather long line. Which I waited in for about an hour or so. As I was waiting, I found out that they only allow 300 people to go up to the top of the temple at a time. So it was a bit of a nail biter for me. I wasn’t sure if I would be one of the lucky ones. At around 6:05, the line really started moving, and lo and behold, I was able to climb the many stairs to reach the ultimate sunset viewing spot. Now, the only problem was clouds! It was to cloudy to see a sunset but a beautiful experience nonetheless.
