Best Place to watch Sunset in Siem Reap

Watching the sunset in Siem Reap is a magical experience that beautifully complements the sunrise at Angkor Wat, offering a different perspective of Cambodia’s ancient landscape bathed in golden hues. One of the most popular spots for sunset is Phnom Bakheng, a hilltop temple that provides panoramic views over the Angkor Archaeological Park. From the top, you can see the silhouette of Angkor Wat in the distance as the sun slowly dips behind the horizon. However, due to its popularity, it’s best to arrive early—ideally by 4:00 PM—as the number of visitors is limited to preserve the site. For a more peaceful and unique sunset experience, Pre Rup Temple is another excellent choice. Known for its reddish stone that glows warmly in the setting sun, Pre Rup offers an elevated view and fewer crowds, making it perfect for a serene end to your day of exploring. Another lesser-known but incredibly atmospheric place is Tonle Sap Lake, where you can enjoy a sunset boat ride along the calm waters while watching the sky reflect off the lake and witnessing the daily life of the floating villages. Whether you choose a historic temple or a tranquil lake, the sunsets in Siem Reap are not just visually stunning but deeply spiritual, offering travelers a moment to pause and reflect on the beauty and history surrounding them.
