Our hotel is near the river side. We had our breakfast at the hotel top floor balcony!

Bakheng Temple for sunset

On our first day at Angkor Archaeological Park the last temple we visited was Bakheng. Bakheng is a good spot for sunset. We need to walk up to the hill because the temple is located at the top of the hill. We spend about 20 minutes to walk up.

This is the temple that we going to see our Sunset...


Another steep stairs!

After 20 minutes walking up hill everybody is so tiring and sweaty!

Found a good spot waiting for Sunset!
