Hi,

Please find your answers:

1. Yes. It’s perfectly safe to park the bicycle at the entrance and it’s good to lock. One day, I forgot the key, so everywhere, I asked the guards to keep a watch on that and it was perfectly fine.

2. No. It was completely dark on the road. The light was installed on my bicycle, but it was an inadequate measure. If you want to ride after the dark, its better to have a powerful headlamp. It’s not safe to ride alone after the sunset. Road condition in some areas are really pathetic and it is not safe otherwise also.

3. Phnom Bakheng is the best place to watch the sunset in the evening. Its near to the main Angkor Wat Temple. But since, it was very crowded, I did not go on the Bakheng Hill, rather I watch the sunset from the Angkor Wat Temple only. It was again pitch dark, while returning back to the town. and the roads are not lit up there. You have to rely on the headlights of the other cars/tuktuks for the light. Else, as suggested earlier, carry a powerful head lamp.
