We are planning to visit Cambodia. We  heard that  it is burning hot during the day out there at Angkor Wat sites.
Should we go early around 5-6am and 4-7pm of the day to enjoy the site? It is not easy to wake up early but the sunset & sunrise could make up for our effort  as well.

I think it’ll be good for you to save time when you know which’s the most woth visiting. Here are some of my picks:
Angkor Wat – The most famed temple of them all. Even if you don’t know Angkor Wat by name, you’ll likely recognize a photo of it. Most people choose to watch the sunrise at this temple, and because of it’s popularity you can expect crowds there any time of day.
Bayon – This temple is best known for the stone smiling faces which look out in all four directions.
Ta Prohm – This temple was used as the movie set of Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie. You’ll recognize the twisted tree that sits over the ruins.
Preah Khan – Like Ta Prohm, this temples also remains vastly unrestored. Blocks of stone lie in piles, vegetation grows over the ruins, and you get the same feel you would in Ta Prohm minus the crowds.
Banteay Srei – This one stands out from the rest because it is made of red sandstone. The bas relief carvings are also more intricate than the ones you find at the other temples. Architecturally speaking, it is one of the most beautiful temples to visit.
