Wow Clara, there are so much details in your post. I love it. Angkor Wat is a destination that I want to explore. When I was in Vietnam, I planned to visit these temples but unfortuantely, it was changed due to some reasons.
Your experience about waking up early to see the sunset reminds me about the one I had in Old Bagan, Myanmar. It was incredible.
Oh! Hi @dora381! Thank you for dropping by on my post! I hope you could someday travel to Angkor Wat. It is a must! Its just so beautiful there.
But Myanmar? I actually wanted to include this in my Indochina solo travel destination seeing that it is closer to Vietnam and Laos but I had to forego Myanmar because of budget reasons. 😅 But perhaps someday!
Thanks, Clara. I will add it to my bucket list :)
As far as I know, it's not really safe to travel to Myanmar recently. It is so sad what they are going through right now due to the armed conflict. They just opened their border with the whole world in 2011. Luckily, I had an opportunity to visit this beautiful country in 2016.
But I do have hope for their better future so we all can see Myanmar again.
