Bayon Temple_Angkor Thom 🇰🇭

Bayon temple is located at Angkor Thom complex, next to Ta Prohm temple, around 12 km from Siem Reap town.
Bayon temple has no fence, yet there are two gates left until this century , one at the North and other one at the South. Each gate cost 1.5 km from the central of temple.

Bayon temple architecture is different from others like Angkor Wat , Ta Prohm or Banteay Srey temple.
Both temple and the gates are designed with multitude of giant stone faces. You will notice each stone faces smiling down at you from every direction.

There are unique photo opportunities at this temple , and tourists guide can help point out where to get the best shots. I regret that I missed this opportunity because I brought little kids with me during the visit, that was why I have less time here.
