Wow never thought there were such big crowds behind the pictures! However the sunset is truly beautiful – Thanks for the tips 🙂

Interesting post – I really loved seeing it at Sunrise especially as it set us up for a busy day of sightseeing. I’ll be sure to squeeze in a sunset if I return!

Beautiful photos that truly capture the magic, thanks for sharing! On my visit I only saw the sunrise, and you’re right about the crowds for sure! We stuck to the left side pond for that reason too and ended up right at the front. I’d love to go back and see sunset as it seems like a completely different perspective on an equally special moment!

My friend was just there for sunrise and her photos are just as breathtaking! This is one destination I hope to visit soon. And with the huge time difference from where I am, sunrise may actually happen!

Wow, that sunrise crowd is just crazy! I’d love to see this, but I don’t know if fighting with all those people would be worth it.

Thanks for sharing what it really looks like behind the scenes. So many picture-perfect tourist attractions are hounded with crowds which completely takes away the true experience. I think we need to start a trend on Instagram of showing the behind the scenes of the perfect Instagram snaps 🙂

Wow that’s incredible, all those people trying to get the best photo spot! I’m definitely a sunset girl, but every now and then I do love a good sunrise.

I’ve heard of people throwing candy to the locals from the balloon rides before, grateful you acknowledges the ethical implications of it. Loved your post though, and dying to see Anhkor Wat for myself!
