Where to stand
Viewpoint: West causeway · Siem Reap, Cambodia
13.41258, 103.86000
Lined up with Central tower, 0.76 km away. Look towards 91° from north. It works across an area around this point, not only from the exact spot.
Good to know
The true alignment is only on the west causeway’s axis. The north pond (the favourite for reflections) is off-axis and fenced for restoration until 2026. Arrive around 04:30.
From the ponds you are off-axis and see the alignment on other days: the dates are for the causeway’s axis. September is often cloudy (rainy season).
Dates for 2026–2030, worked out by Duskbox’s own astronomy engine: the sun from NREL’s SPA, the moon topocentric, both with atmospheric refraction.
