The intricate carvings and those Naga statues are just stunning! I remember the first time I caught a whiff of incense while climbing those steps—it’s like the whole place just wraps you in this warm, peaceful vibe.

It makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger, you know? And let’s be honest, it’s a nice break from the usual tourist spots. What was your favorite moment at Wat Phnom?
