Face to face with Angkor Thom’s Bayon

The Bayon stands in the exact centre of the city of Angkor Thom, and is extremely photogenic. It was one of my favorite temples to tour, not least because of the majestic faces everywhere you look.

Waiting in the TukTuk at Angkor Thom South Gate The south gate of Angkor Thom is the best preserved. It is approached from outside via a causeway that extends about fifty meters across a moat. On each side of the causeway are railings fashioned with 54 stone figures engaged in the performance of a famous Hindu story: the myth of the Churning of the Ocean. #SiemReap #Cambodia
