There's a confusion in your posts between Angkor Wat and Angkor as a generic name. Angkor Wat is one temple within the Angkor area. It doesn't take 3 days to explore Angkor Wat, but it does take several days to explore the Angkor temples. 5 days is a minimum to me if you want to have some rest moments at the pool of your hotel, especially in April when it's very hot.
