geovalin Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple has been ranked as the top place in the world to watch sunrise and sunsets in the world by a British website. According to a new study by the popular British website mornings.co.uk, ‘Angkor Wat leads spiritual list of Must-See Sunrises’ The site continues in its praise of the Cambodian icon, saying “The walk through the trees to the east gate, and on to the main complex, is magical – often no one around at an early hour, with the birds singing as it grows light,” writes one reviewer of Angkor Wat. The Cambodian temple complex has two and a half times more mentions for its sunrise than any other attraction in the world.’ There is expected to be an influx of tourists on the 21st of March to witness the bi-yearly solar equinox – where the sun perfectly aligns with Angkor Wat. The full list of top sunrise and sunsets was as following: 1st place went to Angkor Wat of Cambodia, 2nd place went to Haleakala Crater of USA, 3rd place went to Taj Mahal of India, 4th place went to Borobudur Temple of Indonesia, 5th place went to Australia’s Uluru, 6th place’s Nepal’s Saragng Kot read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501044360/angkor-wat-ranked-no-1-as-the-best-place-in-the-world-to-watch-sunrise-and-sunset/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Maybe now with Covid there are less people, but when I went there about ten years ago, tourists were like ants climbing all over it. Almost impossible to take a photos without them in it. And that was early in the morning. It seems like everyone had the same idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Anywhere works for me, even from my backyard, looking off the 2nd story veranda. Along with any silhouetted structure can look great. Or a bit a nature. Survey says ... who cares, except Cambo tourist authority. As everything, all personal preference, and what's available locally works or while a simple out & about <1000 kms from home. Even Krung Thep can look good, and not from a skyscraper. These news-blips and travel surveys simply get sillier & sillier. They really do target the most ignorant folks.

Hummin Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 So many beautiful places in the world, so naming one place is ridiculous. Be it weather effects, season, and also urban, mauntains, sea, jungle, a mix and who standing next to you, is where the magic is, a mix of fealings of time being, right here right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 You lose the magic if you have to share it too much Whereas down at Laem Sadet you can watch this in peace every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
