Forget the crowds. Watching the sun scale the towers of Angkor Wat should be a moment of zen, not a mosh pit. To reclaim the magic, skip the main gate and enter from the East. While the masses fight for a spot at the reflection pond, head to the quiet corridors or catch the light at Pre Rup instead. The best views aren't found where everyone else is standing—they're found where you can actually breathe. Trust me, the 4 AM alarm is worth it when you find that golden silence.
